The past few weeks have been crazy. Christmas parties, lots and lots of Christmas baking, a little bit of Christmas art, and weather that has gone from freezing to 70 to freezing again has made for a fun, but busy Christmas season. The craziness culminated in a day trip to see Jason's family for Christmas. Seven hours round-trip in the car plus ten hours visiting made for a long day. We had a wonderful time, but I'm having a hard time recovering. My parents are coming for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and then heading to North Carolina to visit my brothers.
Today it set in that Christmas Eve is tomorrow and I started to panic a little at all that needed to be done. I started rushing the girls, trying to hurry them out the door, being very impatient with them. I stayed in panic mode until we arrived that grocery store. While waiting for a parking space, a family walked in front of my van - two little girls and a little boy walking with the help of a walker and a huge smile on his face. As I looked at this little boy, tears streamed down my face. Lauren asked me what was wrong with the boy and it took me a minute to get control and try to answer her. Watching that little boy, I thanked the Lord for my healthy children. God has been so very good to me and I am so thankful He sent his Son to be the greatest Christmas gift of all. So maybe my house won't be as clean as I want it to be, maybe I won't bake everything I wanted to, but it doesn't matter, because God became flesh to be my Savior.
