Some relaxing with Mammy...
Some cooking and cleaning...
Some stuffing our faces with cookies...
and, finally, some sleeping babes and decorating mamas:)
In the midst of it all my mind returns again and again to the people Joel saw in clinic today. The people around the world and in our city who are hurting,lonely, unfed, unloved. The thought of it is overwhelming, and yet tomorrow we celebrate the birth day of Hope. Of Love. Of God reaching down to earth and gifting us with His perfect child. So, as I enjoy my babies and my sweet Joel and my mama and the wonderful busyness of gifting and cooking and baking...my heart also whispers, "Oh come, o come Emmanuel". You came to us in a manger, you died for us on a cross, and one day you will come again and the pain and agony that man and sin has wrought will be forever gone.
Merry, Merry Christmas to you as you celebrate our Emmanuel,
Jen
