Always be full of joy
in the Lord. I will say it
again-Rejoice!
Phil. 4:4
I thought today I would share with you a funny Christmas
memory from our family. I absolutely
love to laugh, and my boys have inherited that same love. They just love to laugh at me!
I have many Nativities in my house. So many have been gifts from people I have
loved through the years. My family has
given me some and I have also bought a few.
This year they are all over my house even in the bathrooms. Some are beautiful and traditional others are
a little quirky. I have one that my baby
boy has never loved. When I bought it in
a gift shop in Tennessee and brought it home, Jordan was appalled. Every time I put it out when he was still
living at home, he threatened to call for an intervention from the church where
I worked. He called it “sacrilegious” and
“ridiculous.” It just made me love it
more. It sets right beside my coffee pot
in the kitchen and is one of the first things I see every single morning. It makes me smile and think of my boy, who is
now a fine man with boys of his own (who might have inherited their Nonnie’s
sense of humor!)
What brings a smile to your face these days? In spite of the news and media telling me
that we are all doomed, I still find a great deal of joy in my day. I
pray you find some joy as well. We are
having Christmas at Jordan’s house this year.
I’m thinking this little Nativity might look really good sitting beside
his coffee machine! I want to share the joy.
