Merry Christmas and beyond

We had a quiet, wonderful, peaceful Christmas at home, just the 4 of us. We awoke early (6am), opened gifts, ate cinnamon rolls for breakfast, the girls played Nintendo games, Don went hunting and I just enjoyed the day. We are so truly and amazingly blessed with our health, our jobs, our home and our sweet children that nothing wrapped in bright paper or put in a stocking could have made the day any better. Having been given this gift of love from the Father so long ago that still brings joy and excitement 2000 years later on this special day (and every day in the heart of Christians) is just amazing and I am thankful for the gift of my salvation and the birth of my Savior who abundantly bestows his mercy and grace upon me and my family. Hallelujah! Christ the Savior is born!
