We were awoken bright an early by a little blonde headed girl with excitement in her eyes, anticipation of opening her presents and before the presents she says, "Happy Birthday Jesus, I can't wait to go to church but right now it is time... PRESENTS!"
The kids were beaming and their proud Poppa sat on the couch and watch them open their presents, I could tell he was soaking it all in. Enjoying watching them, soaking in their joy... and trying to wake up.
We had breakfast together and got ready for church.
The kids were excited to wear special clothes to celebrate the birth of our Lord.
New shoes, new dress, new pants, new vest, new tie, new stockings... the boys cut their hair the girls curled their locks... we all wanted to look our best to celebrate this special day.
Service was amazing, a sermon about gifts, the gifts we bring to God, to Jesus on a day that is for Him. Lives were touched, broken lives were laid at the feet of our Lord and hearts were given to Him and made whole. Tear filled eyes spoke of salvation and what Christmas is all about.
Family came to celebrate in the afternoon, the kids played and we ate more than we should.
It was a wonderful day. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!!
