We were incredibly fortunate to have a beautiful Holiday this year...Great family get-togethers, gifts under the tree, a tremendous amount to be thankful for. And let's always remember why we celebrate this time of year - the birth of the Savior of the World, Jesus.
As I listen to my children play in our house full of new toys and gifts, I think of Mary (from one Mom to another) and how she snuggled and cuddled with Baby Jesus. In his human form, He was probably this beautiful, bubbly, chunky baby that giggled like Izzy or a busy crawler that got into everything like Sophie. But in his infinate Glory, he is our Savior, our Redeemer, our Friend. Remember that in the low times, rejoice in that in the high times and know that no matter what, He loves you and wants a personal relationship with you.
New Year's RESOLUTION TIME!!!
I hope that during this busy season, we got to see all of you at least for a few minutes, but in case we didn't my new resolution this year is to visit more, to communicate more. I have been so blessed to have so many wonderful family and friends help out in this last year of "the Babies." From helpful hands, to prayerful thoughts and phone calls - and I am purposed to sit and visit, drop an email, drop a line or just drop in to say Hello! Expect it soon!!
Finally, this year is going to be a huge one for Chris and myself: Alexander is turning 4 and going to "big school like Landry and Caleb;" Isabella and Sophia will be turning 1 and taking over the house as toddlers; we will be welcoming a little girl, Mary Elizabeth, for Josh and Ann; and just watching all of the other nieces and nephews grow up another year older. What a legacy our families have!!
We love all of you and pray that this year is one of great blessings and purpose!!
