Christmas

If you would of known me three years ago. You'd be rather surprised. I really am not the same person. Christmas was all about getting a lot of gifts. This year I could care less wether or not presents were under the tree or not. My favorite part was getting to see my two lovely sisters together at the same time.

This morning I woke up with this longing to unwrap the gift that this season is all about. Christ... My first thoughts today was about the glory of Christ living in me. Such a beautiful gift. There is so much to unpack and unfold in Christ.

Then my heart ached for my family. Not to say that I am any better than them. I'm just fortunate to have been shown the truth. There is so much glory and beauty in Christ. TV shows, a lovely Christmas tree, beautiful stockings... are nothing but empty things that leave you disastisfied. I long for my family to taste the fullness of life in Christ.

He completes us... we were made to walk with our God, without him we are but shadows of who we really are.
