Merry Christmas Everyone...it is here!

I love Christmas. I have felt so bad lately that until this morning I have not had my Christmas joy, that feeling of connection with my Savior, that sweet communion with my Abba. Abba, what we observe this day, this beautiful day, is a day of hope, of blessed assurance. In this day, my gift, the only gift that matters is the knowledge that I am forgiven and free. I am yours and you will never leave me. There is no death ahead for me or anyone who calls your name. Because of you I am not afraid. Because of you there is hope. You took me in to your heart and you took my place to allow us to be together, always.

Thank you my Abba, thank you.

Last night, we had Christmas Eve at our house with Mom, Dad and Hazel. It was very nice. Big turkey dinner and lots of food, but the best part was seeing them all around the table. Unfortunately, with this rain and fear of water in their basements, they did not spend the night, they went back home. Mom and Dad will come back later today and we will all end up at Alicia's tonight. But for now, I sit by the tree with my old dog. I have a hot mug of coffee beside me and beautiful music playing. I have found my Christmas joy as well as my Qi.
