which means it's 5 hours past Christmas day. slowly my family, and i'm sure along with everyone else, will begin the tedious chore of putting down the lights and cleaning up the living room from its tree, ornaments, and tinsel. it's amazing how early we begin to prepare for the holidays (right after thanksgiving), yet how quick we put these things away when Christmas day is over. but, does Christmas reside behind all these pretty, shiny things? no, it certainly does not. while the Christmas tree with its ornate decorations live for only a short time, the birth of Christ and what it will bring forth continues to live on and linger in the midst of us all.
this Christmas season was a bit different for me. i went to my family's church for Christmas service and it moved me. it moved me to see so many of God's children praising and lifting His name, it moved me to be gracious in Christ' birth which will ultimately lead to His sacrificial death, it moved me listening to every word spoken from the pastor... this Christmas season moved me.
if only everyone saw the significance behind this season, right?
Happy Birthday Jesus and thank You, Lord for this perfect gift.
the love of my life, cutiepie gma looking for and opening her gift:
