Happy Holidays! and let me tell you they have been pretty happy indeed!!! how could they not really? i have a pretty good life, shelter over my head, food in my belly, great support from our awesome friends, a loving family, a happy & healthy baby, and the most amazing hardworking husband. throughout the year it gets kinda hard to remember all the good in your life until you stop and pause for moment, which is REALLY sad but so true. i can't be the only one that gets caught in the hustle and bustle of life?! am i? i sure hope not! but that's why i love this season, you really get to just have those moments more regular where you can just stop and pause. sometimes it's when your standing in line to buy those presents that you just NEED, or making dinner/cleaning the house for family, maybe taking a quick shower to get ready for the next holiday activity. but we all have those moments of reflection, & that's what makes the season more exciting and meaningful. when we can remember what we grateful for and the real reason for the season. our beautiful savior. that's what ALL of this is about!
last night as we were reading the stories that read every year my mom had something to say after reading the one in the scriptures. she said, how luck are we? our Heavenly Father gave us a gift, the first gift. His beloved gift. Baby Jesus didn't come in any spectacular way but a simple one. just how we all were. there wasn't some big bow on His head saying i'm here, now come greet and all that stuff. nope. he was laid in a manager in beautiful swaddling blankets made my Mary. how nice it is to know that our Savior is just like us. we are just as much loved in His eyes as Christ was and is. i love our Savior and what He was able to do for us and has given us.
i hope everyone had a very merry christmas and was able to spend it with loved ones, & if not at least able to feel our Heavenly Fathers love for you! because He does.
