O Come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord...
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given...
What an incredible thought. Unto us, a son is given. This is why I love Christmas. It is an opportunity to step back and take in the blessings in your life. All of the insignificant material things fall away and I sit in awe of the hand God dealt me. How did I deserve this salvation, this family, these friends, these opportunities, this incredible man? Sometimes I feel so filled with gratitude that I think my heart could burst. I'm even thankful for all the bumps in the road thus far. There are times when I have to remind myself to relinquish control and let Him work, even if the path is not what I had in mind. He is good.
