What a wonderful season to enjoy in the Big Apple. All the decorations are enormous and everything is elaborate! I love being in the center of the decorations and the spirit of the season. People are singing, gathering around the Tree, shopping, and running here and there. Yes we all know that we are not always surrounded by the real reason for Christmas. For Jody and I we are doubly blessed to celebrate our 7th anniversary in a city where we are just big kids. Kids who ooooo and ahh at all the lights, shop windows, trees and season. We love it. It reminds us of the day that will always be precious to us. Thankfully it is so very close to the birthday of the King! Such a wonderful season to celebrate the reason for Christmas. It is all about Him, even in a world that makes it about money and stuff. I love walking in a store and walking out because the prices are completely absurd. Really....why would I pay that? What else could I do with the money. It is international missions month at church.....ummm maybe that would be better than a $600 dress. Ridiculous! I laugh and look at Jody and say....lets get out of here. The real reason of Christmas is celebrated daily in our hearts as we honor Him. Remember Him. Ponder His coming and celebrate that He finished what He came to do. For that we have hope and peace this season. Heaven's peace came down and filled our hearts.
