This Christmas came and went in a flurry as can be expected, but we had moments that I am still reliving that in hindsight will draw the happy memories to a longer finale. Our two year old nephew learned that cookie playdo was actually edible and the remaining sugar cookies decorated by his enthusiastic hand just as beautiful as those done at the local store. Our three year old nephew enjoyed "taking care" of the visiting pets while cuddling with aunt Laura and " wrestling" uncle Nate. These an many other Christmas blessings is what I remember most as I rethink the last month.. Not the stress that is added financially or the expectations to meet everyone else's expectations. This is what I fjnd myself praying for most during our celebration of Christ. Not that I received the gift most wanted or that I found the perfect gift but that my family and those I have never met find a way to extend true Christmas joy through the moments celebrated amongst ourselves and the lasting smiles it brings.
