From Us, to You

You all know the story of The Polar Express, right? Basically it boils down to Believing. In this case in Santa. If you can hear the bell ring, you believe.

Gert keeps running around the house, jingling a bell. "Mommy? Do you hear that?" "Yes, Sweetie, I do." "THAT MEANS YOU BELIEVE!!!"

Isn't THAT the faith of a child.

I do believe.

When I see a beautiful sunset... I believe.
When I hear the voice of a cheery heart... I believe.
When I behold miracle after miracle... I believe.
When I feel the gentle touch of my daughters' hands... I believe.
When I see a rainbow stretch across the sky... I believe.
When my heart feels full, despite my trials... I believe.

I believe that God so loved the world, that He gave us His only Son, that whoever Believes in Him will have eternal life. I believe that today we celebrate the birth of His Son. Jesus.

Do you hear the Bells on Christmas Day?

I do.

I believe.

Merry Christmas to you all, my dear, wonderful gifts from God.

Merry Christmas to all of you. By the way, I like the tree.
As a mom, maybe she is just getting even for all the times you drove her nuts:) Just smile and love her to bits.
Gods blessings on you for the coming year.
