I need to pour my heart into celebrating Christmas this year.  To get me through the most difficult one of my life.  But as I put one more strand of lights outside, it reminds me of whom and why I’m so festive.  To spread the joy and celebration of the one my son and we love more than anything possible.  For him to know that love so deeply and closely now and to be a part of that love, is a cause to celebrate to the world.  And to help my heart smile.

Our Father in heaven…where my son lives and who sends him charge over those he loves.  Thank you Jesus, for creating it possible and allowing my son to live with you forever in our hearts.  Your love is my cause indeed to celebrate even more.
