It's nearly Christmas. The Christian radio station plays lovely Christmas melodies, I play my Christmas CDs while at my desk at work, and our friends invite us to their holiday gatherings.
Our Christmas tree is up, our home is decorated, and our presents are nearly all wrapped and ready for Christmas morning.
We are reading the Nativity story to our littlest toddler in various toddler books with various themes.
Our eldest daughters are wrapping up their final performances in their local theatre's Christmas play, "Oliver Twist."
Our church will be holding their Christmas choir and play tonight. They've been practicing for weeks and weeks.
Everything is ready and waiting for that special day: the day Christ was born! So it's not really the day Christ was born, but it's the day we celebrate His birth.
The snow is gently falling today. I'm listening to a Charlie Brown Christmas song sung by a Christian artist as I type today's journal. My husband and I have already knelt and prayed to Christ our Savior, my toddler is wearing her winter-time footie-pajamas and playing with stickers while my two elder daughters are sleeping snug as a bug in their cozy beds. It's a peaceful Sunday morning.
Thank you, God, for sending Jesus to this earth.
"The star, that they did see in the east, did go before them..." Matthew 2:9
