Our Christmas shopping isn't finished.
I didn't get all my cards mailed out yet.
The house is a wreck.
I have a house full arriving at 2 pm.
Candlelight church service at 4:30.
But I'm going to sit in the quiet, dark room lit only by the Christmas tree. I'm going to focus on what the true meaning of this season is, if only for a few more minutes.
We don't have the perfect family, we won't have the "picture perfect" holiday even if it looks like that through a lens.
We will laugh, make memories, play with cousins, eat yummy food, miss those who aren't with us, snuggle and probably argue over toys too :)
We will celebrate the birth of Christ in a dark church lit by hundreds of candlelight this evening. Rejoicing in the promises and being grateful for all that has been given to us.
