Winter Snow

I was talking to a friend last week and I asked her the common, "Did you guys have a good Christmas?"  Her response, "The best ever."  The simple answer stopped me in my tracks and I thought ... me too!  It really was a great holiday season.  Maybe for the first time ever, I feel like I really worshipped the Savior.  I thought more about what it meant that the CREATOR of the universe came as a baby with ten tiny fingers and ten tiny toes.  I had always thought about the humility that it took for Him to endure the cross, but never the humility that it took for Him to come as a babe. The first time I heard this song below, I was overwhelmed with the grace and majesty of Jesus.  

I took down most of our decorations yesterday.  I must admit that normally I am ready to get everything back in the box and get back to "normal."  But this year was different!  I didn't want to pull down the Christmas Cards from my kitchen cabinets and putting our gingerbread nativity in the trash was not easy. I have loved having these ever visible reminders of the season all around my house, but as I carried the last box to the garage, I reminded myself that the worship of who Jesus is doesn't stop now that the boxes are put away!  This year I am challenged to experience the same feeling of worship January through November.

What lessons did you learn this Christmas season?
