Because
they don’t know to and they are a bit too excited this morning, please let me
say, Thank you! Thank you for all the
gifts, all the time it took shopping and deciding what to buy and what you
could afford. Thank you for setting up
and putting together toys for your little ones.
Thank you for smiling even when you were awakened by their clatter way
before “the sun got up.”
This day in years past have passed
quickly, as will today.
This is the day the Lord has blessed us
with.
My prayer is you will, “live the life
out of this Christmas day.” Don’t miss a
thing.
The laughter and sounds of the wrapping
paper tearing, the smell of sweet potatoes cooking and how it feels to sit on
the couch holding a beloved stuffed animal as the children squeal over their
new toys. Make note of each of these
stimulates and ask the Lord to help you remember and cherish every moment as a
mom.
Just as Mary the mother of our divine
Savior did, she treasured all these things in her heart. Mary can certainly recall the details of
being pregnant as a very young teen and raising a perfect child. Mary was keeping (at minimal) a mental log of
her precious first-born. She saw His
capabilities and watched Him grow in wisdom and stature.
Treasure the moments of today, of each
child. Thank the Lord for the blessing
of being a mother and keep (at minimal) a record of God at work in your
home. Treasure Him in your heart, share
Him as often as His Spirit leads you. Enjoy your children and have a very merry
Christmas!
