I love Christmas and I especially love the reason for Christmas.
But this year? Preparing for our Savior's Birthday has really filled me up with God's love! I found myself holding back tears of joy this weekend as Molly shared with her family, our family, who is so lucky to have her forever, the joy of preparing for Jesus! She loved the decorations and wanted a gold angel placed on the back of her wheelchair, tears of joy. She beamed and clapped through the Christmas music at church, tears of joy. She investigated the lit church on our piano and asked what the English word for cross is, and then explained to me about Jesus on the cross in her one word English and pantomime, tears of joy. She sang Silent Night in a beautiful voice, tears of joy. She chose angel ornaments for her friends at the House of Love, tears of joy for her caring heart.
Yes, Christmas this year with our new family of seven will be pure Joy!
Jeeze, Mo! Your "Tears of Joy" brought more tears of joy to my own eyes. Thank you, my friend for being an amazing Mom, wife, and woman. You truly bring grace and beauty to this world. Thanks for showing us all what gratitude really means. So happy for all 7 of you!
