~The Light of the World~

Last night I drove down the street where you can see our house from a distance and was amazed at the view. Danny strung a multitude of lights this year in both our front & backyard. It's a beautiful & magical moment when you stand under them beneath the black sky and it warms you when you gaze at them through the windows. At the start of the Christmas season, I was overwhelmed with the rush & anxiety that can come with it. I found myself dreading the work ahead of me and even sighed at the thought of pulling out those Christmas decorations. How sad is that?? It wasn't until last night when I stood outside in cold night air by myself & took in the view my husband worked so hard to create for us that I felt that peace & joy. The view of the lights was simply stunning and what a beautiful reminder this is of the greatest light of all! The true reason we celebrate this season. It's such a simple reminder, but one that gets lost so easily. I'm so grateful for my husband who worked so hard to light up the house for our children and for me :0).
