When I was a little kid, Christmas time was so enchanting! Lighting up the house with Christmas lights, and putting up the tree with my family! Then, on Christmas morning, my siblings and I sneaking down the stairs long before our parents were awake to just get a glimpse of all the presents waiting for us! :)
I remember the year that I didn't feel that same epic feeling about Christmas, presents and all that...and, I remember it made me a little sad at first! Soon after though, I began to realize the reason I truly love this season as an adult is because it is one of the only times in my year that I am able to be with my whole family. No one missing! Even if it's just for a short visit, it is always the best moments and what I look forward to each and every year.
I know that I've been blessed beyond measure to have been placed in this family by God. I am eternally thankful and know how much of a privilege it is to be in the situation I am in. I definitely do not take it for granted & as we approach my families Christmas gathering {this coming Friday!} I have this thankfulness fresh in my heart!
God, I love my family! Thank you so much for them :)
