What a wonderful time of year. I’m ready to celebrate the Lord Jesus Christ’s birth and all is well at our house. Every year at this time I miss my dad, and Kurt’s dad. I think they are both looking down at our little family and are truely proud of how far we’ve come. I don’t worry too much about the shopping, baking or the extra pounds. I worry about dumb stuff. Things I have no control over.  I have to be reminded that I am ultimately not in control of what happens to me or my family. Sure, we are given free will to make choices, but Glory be to God! Let’s be reminded of my FAVORITE Bible Verse—

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” 

Trust God! That’s all I need to remember this Christmas. Jesus was born on Christmas Day to bring hope and joy.  May this Christmas give you hope for the future.

Love and Blessings, Carrie
