Christmas eve

I am sitting here in my wool socks and sweater, the cookies are in the oven Christmas music is playing in the background. I had a huge coffee while shopping for grocery's at 6am. Ryan is out Christmas shopping with Summer. Millie is helping me bake and Emmett is sleeping.

I love what Christmas means to us, it is not a random holiday with a tree and presents but it is a celebration of the birth of Jesus!

As I sit here in serenity it crossed my mind at this time thousands of years ago Mary was beginning her labor. She was desperate for a place to have her baby. From a mother to a mother I am thankful for the sacrifice of body that Mary made. The pain that she was feeling and the sheer joy I know followed at the first sight of her beautiful baby.

How beautifully and dutifully Mary and Joesph followed Gods plans for them!


Tomorrow we celebrate the birth of Jesus and what that means for us!!! Today I thought I would shout out to Mary and Joesph for their role in bring The Messiah into the world.
