Happy Holidays!

What a beautiful Christmas. This year I tried to head into the holidays with fewer expectations and it made it all so much more enjoyable! Take it day by day and enjoy the journey... what a perfect way to wrap up this year, and a great resolution for 2013!

So many situations this year have brought the following verse to mind, so I'll leave it with you as a reminder of God's faithfulness in sickness, health, happiness, sorrow, broken relationships, betrayal, loyalty, celebration, and mourning. May 2013 be a beautiful year for you and yours, not because of circumstances, but because of an increased dependency on God and a new awareness of His good in our lives!
Let's make much of the time we have!

Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."
Lamentations 3:21-23

  3. I forgot to not have expectations this year at Christmas and quickly realized it the day after, lol. :) I will try that for next year! I hope you keep blogging and share your wise insights with us all. The pictures you posted of Jason from 2012 were so precious! He is such a handsome boy. Hopefully we can try to get together soon!
