Post Christmas
Well, my parents left for home today. The house is back to just the normal family. Preston is still home from college so it is not quiet... But Christmas is over. We build up to it, plan on it, prepare for it, and then bammm it is over. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Christmas this year incredibly. Reading the Christmas story as a family, worshiping together the Christmas day with blood family and church family, the sparkle in a kids eye opening a special gift. All beautiful and wonderful to me. But now what? The great thing is Christmas is really something we can celebrate year round, because God is with us! Now people may look at you funny if you try and play Christmas music all year long, but they may be the Grinch in disguise. The reality of Jesus is a daily reality in our lives! The joy of Christmas is not about December 25th - most likely not even close to the birth date of Jesus- but is the joy of knowing we serve a God who is willing to come at just the right time in history and at just the right time in our lives.
