It is so very quiet in my house this Christmas morning. The only thing I hear is the soft twirl of my Christmas village lighthouse as it spins it's light around. "Be still and know I am God." This came at me like a bolt this early morning. Be still. No rushing, no panicking, just Be Still.
This is the first Christmas morning since our first year of marriage that we have been alone.
It will, however, get loud soon. I have 20 family and friends coming for lunch at 2:00. So, Be Still, I will for now and just bask in the presence of my Savior. My heart is full. Full to over flowing. How so blessed I am. My precious family, my precious friends, my precious husband. My list goes on but I will think of these for now.
Last night's church service was a message of God and His reason for the season. He sent His precious Son to me, for me. Me. Little ole me. Sometimes it is more than I can wrap my head around. So, I just wrap my heart around it and go with it. He loves me, He cares about me, and He will never leave me.
This has all made me realize that I need to be much more than I am. I need to be his representative. I need for others, everyone, to see Him through me. I want this so much.
Be Still. Be still and feel God and know He came to you and for you. He loves you that much.
So Merry Christmas. And my you all feel the presence of the Savior today and everyday to come.
