I hope that everyone had a lovely and Spirit filled Christmas. 

Our family enjoyed the holiday season and we were blessed to spend it with family and friends.  We enjoy old family traditions and making new ones.  The kids loved helping me bake and were overjoyed when opening their presents.  Our Lord says that it is better to give than to receive and for me it was true.  I felt so blessed when I saw their eyes light up in surprise as they opened their gifts.  Jael was so excited that her joy overflowed into shouts and screams as each kids opened a present.  She wasn't just excited about what she received.  She rejoiced for each of her siblings.  It was amazing to watch her 5 year old heart expand with love and joy. 

I am so thankful that we will begin our New Year with our own home.  This truly is a gift and I'm so thankful.  We moved our move in date up by two days.  So, I only have  a week and half to pack everything.  The part that is stressing me is getting a handle on the clothes.  It is amazing how many clothes a family of nine can accumulate.  However, I'm thankful that we are so richly blessed that we don't have a clothes shortage. 

I am so thankful for the joy and entertainment my children bring into my life.  They are proof that God has a sense of humor and likes a good laugh.  I can't imagine Him not laughing at some of the things they say and do and imagine.   I'm feeling very blessed and loved by my Heavenly Father and it's evidenced in my children and loving husband.  I can only lift my hands and heart and praise my Abba Father. 

God bless you and have a wonderful New Year.
