Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
As I have reflected on the meaning of Christmas over the last few days I have been overwhelmed by the goodness of our Heavenly Father to send His son to change the world. Christ's mission was laid out before He was born and it was up to Him to fulfill the wishes of His father and redeem the world. It must have been amazing to see the signs of the birth of a king. I have often wondered if I would have seen the signs if I had lived then. Would I have enough faith to follow a star to see a baby? Would I have recognized the truths being taught and the miracles being performed or would I have been a skeptic? I like to believe that I would know the Son of God when I saw him. In the past year and a half I have come to know my Savior in a much more personal way than I ever thought possible. I am so grateful for that blessing! We have suffered much through all the things this year has brought us but we have been blessed beyond measure. We have witnessed many miracles, big and small, and been comforted by the spirit of the Lord. Our lives have been blessed by so many wonderful people who have reached out to share our burden and lift us up. It is a testament to me of the love our Father in Heaven has for each of us. How He can send so many people to succor our little family is beyond my understanding. We are grateful. We are humbled. We are so blessed. Above all, our love for our Savior has grown. The miracle of His birth is a wonderful reason to celebrate.
Merry Christmas!
It is wonderful to share this time of the year with all mankind. All over the world people are celebrating the birth of the King of Kings. It is joyous and I too wonder, as you do, Holly, would I have recognized? I certainly do now! I am grateful that so many have come to lift your family and lessen your burderns as best they could. It is through the spirit of our Savior that these deeds are done as people listen to the promptings. Merry Christmas to everyone and may the New Year be one of joy and new miracles.

And you have such an amazing attitude. I know that some days it is overwhelming. But that is because we are human and can only handle so much on our own. It's great listening to your story and seeing your faith and how you turn to the Lord in prayer. Not everyone who faces cancer does that. Some turn to wordly things. You are an example of faith in God. And it is by small and simple means that great things come to pass.
ReplyDeleteHolly, Love your family pictures!! How great you were able to get those! Hang in there during this tough time! You are an amazing example during this tough time. I hope this chemo works well for Trent.
ReplyDeletePS. Glad the new infusion room was so beautiful, sorry you had to experience it though.
