Frankly Martin: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

With all the hustle and bustle of the season we have tried to make a point to slow down, enjoy and focus on why we celebrate and what we celebrate this Christmas...the birth of our Savior! I was overwhelmed by emotion this Sunday as I sat in church thinking of 2 baby boys. I got a call from my sweet brother around 7:30 that morning to tell me my little nephew Conley had been born. I was so thankful that he was here and was healthy. What a miracle, a newborn baby. What a precious gift from God. As I gave thanks for this new life I thought of Mary and her miracle baby. I can't even imagine giving birth to a child I knew was born to die for the sins of others...to know he would suffer on a cross. But how I am eternally grateful for His sacrifice.

I hope that this post finds you slowing down and enjoying this holiday season as well and I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a 2011 full of blessings!
