I am so excited about spending the holidays with my family. It will be the first time we have all been together for Christmas in several years. Michael and I will begin our journey tonight as we head toward Kentucky. We love to travel together. We get a lot of uninterupted time to talk as we drive...that doesn't always happen at home!
So, now the gifts are bought and wrapped, the tree and decorations are up, the flurry of the preparation is over. Now it's time to slow down and enjoy the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Savior. There's not a better time to be with those we love the most.
Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love’s pure light;
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
