my {little} christmas joy

Christmas is a time to celebrate our Savior's miraculous birth. It's also a time to remember the greatest "Christmas Gift" given to us from our Heavenly Father.

This time of year is made even more special to us because of our little gift. A miracle in her own right because she is one of God's own creations. This was our first year seeing Christmas through a child's eyes and exuberance. She has yet to understand the true and unabashed meaning of Christmas. She willlearn that it is not only about neatly wrapped presents, sitting gingerly under a brightly lit tree. Nor is it a time where a jolly, plump man with flying reindeer, will ever so gently, slide down our chimney, expecting freshly baked goodies with ice cold milk to wash them down.

She will come to know the true meaning of Christmas through praise and worship of our one living King. She will know the honesty one little Baby brought on one night announced by heavenly hosts and proclaimed by prophets long before His birth. She will know Jesus as her Savior and Lord. She will know His love and the Hope He brings to us all. She will know Life and Life will live in her heart.
