Christ was born for the most amazing purpose in the world. He was born to save us from our sins so that we may live forever with the Lord in heaven. This Christmas I am thankful for Jesus, for Maddy's health, and for the Lord's truth. My one and only hope is to share the Lord's love and truth with our girls so that they too can experience a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. One way we decided to make our Christmas "Christ focused" was to have a birthday party for Jesus. Reilly thought that would be really cool. So I went to the store and bought the items we would need to have a birthday cake. Reilly made a birthday sign pointing the way to Jesus' party. As time would have it, it slipped away and we never made the cake or sang the song. In fact the box of cake mix and can of icing are still sitting on our kitchen counter. We are still planning on having a party for Jesus, it will just be a little late.
Due to the state of our economy we were inclined to scale down on our purchases and instead focus on time spent with family and friends. This year my mom, Fred, Jill, Joel, Nick & me decided to forgo exchanging gifts. Instead, on Christmas morning we all shared breakfast at our house and watched the girls open gifts.
