Christmas

This year I am going into Christmas with much more hope about seeing next Christmas. Never really thought about that before.

This year I am going into Christmas with more joy.  Not worried about the little things that might normally stress me. I am thankful to be alive!

This year I am celebrating Christmas with a deeper understanding of Jesus' love for us. That he would come as a baby for you and I motivated by his love for us...blows my mind...and his power!  Veiled in a baby, helpless and needy, yet the one who created all things! Knowing he would eventually defeat death and yet humbly sibmitted to the Father's plan.

This year I am celebrating Christmas with less gifts under the tree. Not only because medical bills are a reality when you're fighting cancer, but because they seem less important somehow.  Being together and making memories will take the priority this year.

This year I'm taking a lot of pictures and video at Chirstmas time.

This year I'm going into Christmas aware of the gift that life is.

May you and yours enjoy life this year. Celebrate the ones in your life who mean so much to you, thanking Jesus for all the gifts in your life.
