16 feet
Merry Christmas.
This Christmas morning, during this time of quiet as my family is slowly awakening and sleepy voices already express the excitement of the special day...I think of all this day means.
A tiny baby, born long ago in a place I long to one day see, changed everything for us. Our reason for hope in times of struggle, our forgiveness when we fall, our calm through the storm, our promise of eternity, our joy...
So much to tell Him "thank you" for.
And though my list is long and each of you are included on it, there is one new reason He has all my heart and thankful praise this Christmas day...
This morning as Larry and I gathered together with all of our precious children around us, there were 16 feet (and 80 toes!) under our Christmas tree. Cool.
Merry Christmas to each of you and your families.
Happy Birthday Jesus!
