Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

 Both of those are possible through Jesus Christ! I am so thankful for His love and Hos living reality. I am thankful that he was willing to be born and take on a mortal body, and live in imperfect conditions with imperfect people and a sometimes complicated family situation. Thankful He wear willing to descend below all so that He can raise us up and bear our grief and sorrows and allow us to return to Our Heavenly Father. I have learned so much Theo Christmas about His love and it’s infinite depth. It’s been a beautiful Christmas! Lots of nice gifts, the boys loved their legos, and Will loved his bow. They all love the kitty. Church was wonderful. So thankful for extended family coming to join us. So many people I love. Ryan has been so sweet too. We had yummy dinners and breakfasts and lots of family time. The hike yesterday was especially magical. It was sunset when we got down the Christmas trees were so pretty. And William reminded me that we have a New Year. That Christmas is not the end. And all of this the new beginnings are possible through Chris Mt. Thanks be to God for His unspeakable and loving Gift.
