Luke 2:15-16 When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger.
2 Corinthians 9:15 (KJV) Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
This year as I carry a little one with me as we go off to spend Christmas with family I can't help but relate a little more with Mary and the story of Christ's birth. Only we're not traveling by donkey, I still still have a little until I give birth, and I don't think this baby will be born in a barn (at least here's hoping!). However, I do hope to feel this little one for the first time over Christmas and that will possibly be the best Christmas gift I have ever received!
I have always loved the season of Christmas. My family made it a joyous time filled with love and family traditions. I am excited to share that with our baby. Justin is not a big Christmas fan, as hard as I try. He's not Scrooge, but he's no Bob Cratchit either. So baby if you only knew the plans I have for you! You are going to love Christmas!
I am so excited to spend our first Christmas together as a family and my hopes and dreams for you are just as any Mom's are...I imagine even Mary's.
