I woke up this morning feeling so completely blessed.
My warm cozy husband snuggled into my back, I could hear my kids awake and getting breakfast, and I remembered today is the day before Christmas. But rather than get panicked with things to do, I cozied into my husbands arms and closed my eyes and smiled into a snooze.
Don't get me wrong we had stuff to do today, church singing, last minute present wrapping, Christmas eve services ( 3 to be exact), dinner, etc etc, but no crazy rushing. We watched football, made fudge, cleaned the house and hung out together as a family. It was great!
But it started out with sleeping in and not giving in to the craziness of the season.
If Jesus can teach us one thing this Christmas I hope that it is Beauty.
Teach us the Beauty of selfless giving.
Teach us the Beauty of celebrating.
Teach us the Beauty of receiving from others.
Teach us the Beauty of taking the time to be aware of the wonders around us.
I woke up with beauty in my heart, and I wish it for everyone.
Merry Christmas!
