I'm a sucker for the Christmas season. The Thanksgiving holiday starts it out for me as we spend time pondering all God has given us and all He has been to us. It lightens my heart and rights my mind and reminds me what we look forward to celebrating as Christmas approaches.
Well, we celebrate these holidays regularly around here. We take time each day to give thanks to God. To remember Him. To count the gifts. To rejoice.
But there is something about this season. The music, the heartwarming movies, the snuggle time while snow falls, the rosy cheeks and puffs of breath in the air, faces peeking out of hoods and hats and scarves, advent sermons, gathering to worship...
My heart is satisfied in the peace that falls because I know why we celebrate...
