Christmastime... it is always the same every year:
- Get the Christmas Tree
- Decorate it.
- Drink Lots of Egg Nog.
- Holiday Drinks
- Sweaters, boots, & scarves.
- Shopping
- Christmas Parties
- Ugly Christmas Sweaters
- Christmas Movies
- Christmas Music
- The Christmas Story
- Christmas Church Service
- Christmas dinner
- Candy & Cookies
- Warm Fires
The list can go on and on about these annual events that are always exactly the same, and yet somehow, I never get tired of Christmas. Maybe the holiday music gets old after awhile and eventually I run out of red clothing and Christmas sweaters, but overall Christmas really is the most
wonderful time of the year. This year, I felt like it has been extra special though because I have been able to share it with someone so special to me. I think the thing I love most about the relationship I have with Cory is that we are both so different and yet we share so many things in common. It sounds ridiculous and may not make sense but if you have known Cory or myself for any length of time you are aware of how different our personalities are, but God designed us that way to perfectly fit together.
I am feeling immensely thankful this year for all that I have in my life: friends, family, church, and my relationship with God. Each day brings something new to be thankful for and each year around this time I find myself being extra grateful for this life and how I got this life which was all because God sent his son to be born in a manger by a Virgin. How grateful I am that I serve a sacraficial and graceful God.
Merry Christmas.
