It’s evening on Christmas Day and I’m feeling thankful for so many things. For friends who bring fun and excitement to every occasion. For family who can always be counted on to make the season bright. For children who gasp with excitement at beautiful Christmas lights and stockings filled to the brim. For a husband who didn’t once tell me I was trying to do too much, but instead asked what he could do to help. And, of course, for a God who fills our lives with peace and joy.

With warmest wishes from our family to yours this Christmas and in the year to come.
