I love Christmas...
The feel...
The Lights...
The Smell of a Crisp Clear Night...
The Tastes...

It has never been about the presents with me, but HIS Presence...

And having a truly giving heart...

Nothing makes me more happier and brings instant tears to my eyes, then when I turn all my lights off in my living room and sit in the silence and admire my twinkly Christmas Tree...

It is as if I turn back into that child again, with big bright eyes, gazing at the Tree and knowing that there has to be Hope in the world out there, and that always brought me comfort growing up, everything else going on around me, and it did not matter, I would stare for hours at our Tree, as if in my own world where time stood still for me.........

Sometimes it still does, like nights like tonight, when my boys are asleep and I am alone out here at the computer and I look over, it is breathe taking and my heart feels the warmth that God is giving me in this moment, as I stare into my Christmas Tree...

I am so Thankful...
