I have such a sweet peace this Christmas morning! After getting to see what all Santa had brought, we loaded up the kids for church. We had all voted to have church this morning. I wanted my kids to know, like the famous words of the "Grinch"..."maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store. Maybe, just maybe, Christmas means just a little bit more." But there's no maybe about it. We had such a sweet service singing Christmas songs, sharing through testimonies just what the Lord means to us, and listening to Bro. Joe remind us that even on our darkest days "that a Savior was born in the city of David." I have felt so very blessed this Christmas, not because my life is perfect but rather because I am happy with what God has blessed me with. First, He gave His son to be born to a virgin so that I might live. Second, wonderful parents, who I know are always here for me no matter what. They have always tried to raise me right and encourage me in every thing I have ever set out to do. They love my girls so very much and that just makes me love them more. Third, He sent a man into my life that I could only have ever dreamed about. He is such a wonderful husband and father. The girls don't realize yet just what a terrific dad that God has given them. He is more than I could have ever thought possible in a husband and friend. I can never thank him enough for all the he does. Next, my two beautiful daughters, Morgan and Kylee. Just writing their names brings tears to my eyes for all the joy they have brought to my life. I could never imagine such a deep love. Watching the excitement in their eyes this morning just made my heart so full. They each have such special qualities that are their own. Such big hearts. I am so glad God chose me to be their Mommy and I pray everyday that I do the job in a way that pleases Him. All of these are just a few of the blessings he has bestowed on me. A job where I get to help others, a warm home, food to eat, a bed to sleep in, clothes to wear, a car to drive, friends and family so very dear, and the list just keeps going on. So this Christmas I want to give my Savior a thank you for all the "presents" He has given me everyday. Merry CHRISTmas!
