Today is Christmas Eve. Michael woke up so happy to know that he could take off one more ring and that there was only one left.
Aunt KoKo invited all the girls to spend the night at her house last night. They made cookies and watched Anne of Green Gables.
Ammon also invited the boys over to his house for the night. John Derek was so excited that Monday he packed his bag and put it in the car so that he would be ready.
Aunt Annelise arrived just in time for dinner and volunteered to put Michael to bed so that Derek and I could run some last minute errands.
It has been nice to have the kids taken care of.
This morning my thoughts are turned to that First Christmas Eve. To Mary, new at motherhood and marriage and being called to carry the Son of God. What an amazing responsibility she had. She must have been an amazing woman.
To Joseph who stood in the background. Here was a man who did not seek praise, did not seek attention, who humbly cared for Mary and Christ. I was reminded today that we have no words that were spoken by Joseph. He truly was a humble follower of God.
To Christ, who decended, who came, to condesend that we can have a chance to return to live with Him and our Father. How grateful I am for His sacrifice and love.
Merry Christmas!!
