It's hard to believe that mid-October is here! I feel like I'm already so behind in Christmas preparations. Not sure when we will head North, nothing done for our family picture card that I REALLY want to get done and sent out this year! And it seems like weekends are all booked up!
I don't like the materialism that Christmas has become -- this year it is my goal to stay away from that!! But I do love to celebrate Christmas! I love to set up our nativity set and remember that the reason for Christmas is that God sent His Son. I love to set up our tree and be reminded of His everlasting love, and His sacrifice on the cross. I love to sing Christmas carols, I love the scent of Christmas, I love the "feel" of Christmas -- that cozy peaceful quiet....
Most of all I love to make memories...with Dad in the early last stages of Alzheimer's I'm finding that making memories is so important!! Lots of pictures and laughter and time together.....my heart has been so grieved these last couple of years--this year we, I, will celebrate Christmas with a very thankful heart for all that the Lord has blessed me with.
