Christmas joy
Whew! I think the rush of Christmas is over for another year...at least I'll be able to say that when I get my Christmas cards done! It's the one thing that I just couldn't squeak in, but I'm hopeful it will happen before New Year's. We had a lovely, lovely Christmas. It was just the three of us this year, but memorable and sweet. And yes, we even had a white one! It was fun to have no schedule and just savor the crackling fire, good tea and good food, play games, and explore our presents. I got well into Sarah Palin's new biography (well-written!) and worked on our yearly Christmas puzzle. After a busy month of teas, parties, and special events, it was good to enjoy God's Peace. I've just been overwhelmed the past few days pondering on the goodness of the Lord to us, how incredible it is to be the object of His love and care. The Incarnation is still the most staggering thought, the best "Good News" we could ever have received. Christ
