Happy December Everyone!
Now, it is the time of year the decorations go up, the stores get busy, the snow falls, the families cuddle together by the fire, the smell of cookies and hot cocoa fill the air, and joy begins to fill hearts.
December is my favorite month – not just because of all the cuddles and cookies, but because of ADVENT. A time to reflect on the joy of JESUS and wait in joyful anticipation for his coming. He chose the darkest time of year to bring SO MUCH LIGHT. Now, that is just beautiful. I pray the Lord finds a way to bring your heart closer to his this Christmas season so that you may be filled with joy, hope and grace. 🙂
