December
was a special time in our house. We focused on Advent as a
preparation of our hearts to celebrate Jesus' miracle birth. Lydia
was old enough to begin to “get it”. We attended a Christmas
musical at our church. We read Christmas stories and talked about
Jesus being a baby. Since then she pretends to be baby Jesus curling
up in the toy basket with a blanket.
Our
schedule has been insane this year and it was special to be able to
sit still and focus on being a family and the simple routine of being
home. Right now God has Emmanuel has been special to me. “God is
with us” As I have done some reading this year one of the unique
points of Christianity is the humility and relationship our God has
with us. Other religions are about doing things to impress God or
being good enough. Our God choose to come to us, in our world and be
a mere human. God gives us grace because he loves us. No other
religion includes Grace.
As
we look forward to 2012 more change is on the way for the Heren
family. But above all we know God is in control, nothing surprises
God, and God is outside time as we know it.
