Christmas

Christmas was sort of bittersweet for me. I loved celebrating the birth of my Savior and spending time with my family. I loved spoiling my sweet Piper a little and seeing the joy and excitement on her face. I loved going to church and worshiping with great friends. I just couldn't seem to shake the feeling that someone was missing. This year we should have had a new little one to spoil. Our Christmas is very busy, so it was easy to stay occupied. In the quiet moments, though, I just missed my babies.

At the same time, I'm incredibly humbled, and oh, so thankful that God made the ultimate sacrifice by sending His son. Undeserving as I am, He paid my debt. As much as I would love to have my sweet babies here on Earth, at least I know I will get to spend an eternity with them in Heaven thanks to the gift of Jesus.

It's so easy to get caught up in the commercialism of Christmas, but it's so important to remember what we're really celebrating. Thank You, God, for the greatest gift any of us could ever receive. The gift of salvation. The miracle child born in a stable so many years ago.
