Every year, my kids are delighted to see the nativity making its entrance into the corner of our church. Gabe loves the camels and the fancy clothing of the three kings, while Isabel loves the baby Jesus and the angel above.

Myself? I can relate to the absolute love that Mary has for her infant son, not caring whether he was the savior or not. All of us mothers know in our hearts that God has great plans for our children; can you imagine really knowing it, like Mary did? What a wonderful Christmas gift!

Merry Christmas to all of you, my blog friends. I hope this day is filled with love and peace and laughter for each and every one!
