As we Await Christmas

As we await Christmas Day, the kids have been busy being all crafty with food. They made their very own Gingerbread House and some homemade cookies.

 

 

 

 

Lea got an early Christmas present when she lost her front tooth. Its so cute how losing a front tooth instantly makes you look younger. She was a little embarrassed to smile after it came out, but after we oohed and ahhed over how adorable she looked with it missing she was all smiles.

Christmas is a time of the year when there is lots of hustle and bustle all about as everyone rushes to get everything they need before Christmas morning. I was out doing my last minute errands on Christmas Eve and even in my little old town, in the middle of the day, there were people everywhere. Makes you wonder in the midst of all the busyness as they scramble all around for what they need, is their peace in their hearts? After getting everything that they need to make their Christmas morning perfect, and they've opened the last unopened gift under the tree, will they have peace?

With time to relax and enjoy the company of my family leading up to Christmas, I've tried to relish in the peace that I have in Christ with the gift of His Son. What a priceless gift we have in Jesus Christ. While the Christmas cookies, gingerbread houses, decorations, and gifts are so very nice, the gift of salvation is a one that I wouldn't exchange or re-gift for anything!

Amidst all the presents under your tree this year, may you find PEACE through Jesus Christ this Christmas within your heart.
