Into Christmas we come! I am so excited for Christmas this year! I decided to start shopping early, and guess what, I have been done for quite some time. Well, I do have a few more little things to pick up, but consequently Christmas would be the same with out them I think...
I feel so blessed this season, things seem a little simpler and slower. I have truly felt the Sprit of Christ this December. We have been visited by the Christmas Elves which have touched me... and we have been able to do some small things as a family to help our children understand how it feels to give to those less fortunate.
I am so grateful to really understand the greatest gifts we could ever receive in this lifetime... an Eternal family... Understanding we are children of God who are always loved... having a great healthy family who I feel as much love from as I do for me... and mostly our Savior, Jesus Christ. His atoning sacrifice has brought so much peace to me in my life and I know I am yet at the tip of the iceberg of understanding truly what he has done for me. Hopefully I can gain a bit more understanding this year as I feel my own unworthiness to the abundant blessings which I have been so generously given.
Merry Christmas
and a few photos to spread the cheer...
