I love experiencing Christmas through the hearts and eyes of children. They teach us so much. Last weekend I took a walk in the snow with my sweet granddaughter, Brenna.
"What would you like for Christmas?" I asked.
"Grandma, you're not Santa Claus!"
"I know I'm not Santa Claus. But I want to buy you a gift for Christmas. What would you like?"
"Grandma, it's NOT MY birthday. It's Jesus's birthday!"
I could almost hear the SHEESH!!! in her rolling eyes! Adults can exasperate children with our stupidity.
Brenna made me think, What will I give Jesus for His birthday? Good question.
How about you? What will you give to Jesus this Christmas? I suggest your children (and you) include Jesus on your Christmas gift list. Then we'll sleep like Brenna knowing Christmas isn't all about us. It's all about Jesus.
Wishing you a December filled with peace-filled sleep and splashes of serenity,

Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
And take us to Heaven to live with thee there.
Wishing you a December filled with peace-filled sleep and splashes of serenity,
out of the mouths of babes!
