3 Months

It is 2 days until Christmas and things are so exciting... lights are up, holiday music everywhere, people giving gifts, the celebration of our Savior's arrival, all things happy.

But instead of being overwhelmed by the season, I find myself thinking about our little boy in an orphanage in a far, far away place. Today marks exactly 3 months since we've last seen him. He was a little cranky from having all his shots right before we got there. He wouldn't sit down very much because he was interested in everything. He would hum a little and try to sing a tune with me. Mostly, he wanted to explore and climb and play with everything, even for just a moment. Oh, it seems like much longer than 3 months ago.

But, then I snap out of my inward thoughts and I celebrate the fact that we are 3 months closer to going back there for him. Hopefully only another 6 or so weeks before we get to see his cute little face again. Yippee!

God has been so good to us this year, as He is every year. Though we may be sidetracked with all the gift giving and holiday parties, Jesus is the reason we can celebrate. God's grace is so amazing! So, with that thought, I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season and I wish you all the best Christmas ever!
