I am so blessed to spend the next few weeks with the people I love most. We will spend our time cleaning, cooking, caroling, playing and shopping. Our family like so many other's is blessed to celebrate the most special birth known to man. On Christmas Eve we will gather with our family for communion. This is the most peaceful as well as beautiful service all year. After all of the hustle and bustle we celebrate in this service in such a peaceful manner. The candlelight as well as the beautiful, reverent music puts us all at easy and focuses our minds on the humble beginnings of our Lord and Savior. My children were so sweet to humor me by allowing me to take their photo before a family Christmas gathering. I explained it would be quick and painless if they just cooperated for a few minutes. I cherish my photos-such precious reminders of how much they change from year to year. Merry Christmas!
