merry and bright!

December is winding down, and Christmas is on its way... and I am ready to be fearlessly excited about the holiday. Today is my life, and I am going to live it with faith and joy.

I was reminded about how good this world is on Wednesday night when the woman ahead of me in the drive-through bought my dinner. You should have seen the beaming smile of the woman in the drive-through window as she told me, "No charge! The woman ahead of you paid for your dinner! Merry Christmas! Aren't people just great?!?!" Indeed, they are. Great. So is this world. Last week we all saw the sadness and pain that is possible too, but that doesn't mean our world is not without great joy.

My Christmas wish for all who read this is to

slow down - take it in - savor the season - live today - don't wait for tomorrow.

This season is about family, and the excitement of the coming Savior.
A celebration of life!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
May your days be truly merry and bright.

See you on the flip side,
