Christmas, the day you were to arrive

You were supposed to arrive today but instead you came 20 days ago.  This week has been hard as I think of you often and miss all of the things we'd be doing as a family.  I've been trying to make this Christmas as special as possible for the boys we work with.  We baked so much yesterday. It was nice to have a distraction. We made 2 pumpkin rolls, 2 pumpkin pies, 1 Apple pie, gingerbread cookies, peppermint bark, fruit dip and nacho dip.

I am so thankful for our church family and the prayers they've been offering up on our behalf. They miss you as much as we do.

I'm also so thankful that although there has been years this season that I've truly felt Immanuel, God with me.  The mere fact that I can find any joy and motivation at all is a huge blessing.

I know that this peace and comfort comes only from the Prince of Peace. I pray that today He gives me more of His peace today. I love you and miss you beautiful Jubilee StumbleUpon

    <3 huge hugs from our house to yours today. I woke up thinking about your little baby J. She knows why we celebrate today...she is in His glory that we can only imagine! Love to her and thankful that Christ came for us, and for Jubilee!

    I also thought of little Jubilee this morning. I'm so glad bits of joy and peace are appearing in your busy days. I pray that this peace will keep growing in your heart.
