Christmas Eve, my favorite night of the year. The shopping is done, whether it is or not, and its time to gather. The wait is almost over, and we know what is coming, or at least some of it! Sneaky peekers??? Not me.
Its been a crazy year. Some huge celebrations, some terrible losses, and lots in between.. But as the pastor said tonight, we made it. If that was the goal, anyway. We define success by the calendar year, but sometimes its just best to look at the big picture, relish what we have, work on what needs it, and know that there's more to all this than we can touch, but not more than we can feel. Peace. Truth. Hope. Love.
The Advent Wait is over, and its time for a birthday party. All are invited...
A Son is born, a Child is given. Mighty, Counselor. Emmanuel.
Merry Christmas!!!
