[TruthTalk] Merry Christmas!

[ShieldsFamily]

We aren’t “having Christmas” this year, due to having half of our belongings at one house, and half at the other as we move.  We never planned for our new home to be finished right before Christmas! So, no tree or decorations.  No gifts.  No food in the house. Just boxes and pandemonium in the background as we carry on with more important things, like my husband playing percussion for 8 pre-Christmas services, etc.  What little bit of family is here joined us for one of the services the other night and then we, plus a few friends, went out to dinner together afterwards.    I was not expecting to wake up early this morning to look outside at a layer of wet snow covering the ground and trees—a perfect Christmas gift!  After hauling a couple of carloads of boxes to the new house we will dine at the house of friends who always manage to be enormously hospitable in their tiny little house. They have the biggest of hearts. Then we will go together to see the movie Narnia.  Christmas comes, ready or not, and you don’t need a tree or presents.  It’s all about Him.  Have a blessed one!  iz
