Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas!!!

hese are the photos that would have been on our Christmas card had we have gotten around to sending them out :)  So here you go– its virtual this year! :)

Tonight Adam and I were reflecting on how truly blessed we are.  We have the love of Jesus Christ, a precious little boy, tons of wonderful family and friends, and a thriving business.  As we work and work and parenting and relationships it is easy to think that we have in some way earned all these wonderful things.  Christmas is a good reminder for me of my great need for God and the tremendous sacrifice he made by sending his only son to Earth in order to give me a way to connect with him.  Because no matter how good I am or how much I do it is absolutely impossible to live up to the standards of a perfectly holy God.  I am only able to have a relationship with God because Jesus came to Earth, lived a perfect life, and died in my place for sins I commit.  Through his death I am washed clean and able to live a new life.  Who would have thought that a tiny baby in a manger so many years ago could bring new life to a mom and wife in 2010?!  This is the best gift I have ever received, and I mean that genuinely. It is a gift that has changed the course of my life in dramatic ways and has given me purpose and meaning.

Merry Christmas everyone!

    Amen! I join you in giving thanks for unmerited favor and mercy from a very loving God. I count your little family among my sweetest blessings. Oh…and the pictures of Caden are precious!

    Thank you Kacie, for expressing what Christmas is really about, and doing it in such a beautiful way. It’s been a wonderful day for us, and it started with your precious family. The photos are too cute. xoxo

    Yes, thank you for putting EVERYTHING in perspective. I can’t help but wonder why we are so blessed when there are so many less fortunate yet equally faithful people struggling in so many different ways (and I don’t just mean financially). I am so very humbled. Merry Christmas and may God continue to bless us and keep us safe and healthy.
