Last night before bed I was walking through the house turning off all the trees, lights, scentsys, and candles....these were the last two lights left on in the front foyer of our house...I walked over to turn them off and just had to stop and take a moment to enjoy the beauty in this!!!! My willow tree nativity scene is by far my most favorite Christmas decoration!!! As I stood there about to turn off these last two lights, I just closed my eyes in the stillness of the night and said a prayer!! I thanked God for sending his son to die for me, I thanked God for the beauty of this Christmas season, I thanked God for all my many blessings, and as the tears rolled down my face, I thanked God that I was able to snuggle with my sweet Jackson all day and night while feeling Easton kicking and reminding me of his presence as well!!! My babies are my greatest blessings and are gifts from God that I will never take for granted!!! I prayed for all those affected by the tragic events this week and especially prayed for those teachers and parents who lost those babies this week!!!! My heart hurts for them and I'm crying thinking about it!!!! I also prayed for a friend of some friends who was given some terrible news this week, yet manages to be go strong and have faith beyond imaginable!!!! I needed these few special minutes standing in the stillness of my warm and cozy house in front of the nativity scene to pray once again and to just remember that HE is the reason for the season!!!
