Merry Christmas!

I hope all of you have a truly wonderful Christmas with lots of family, food, laughter, and fun! I will be taking a break from blogging for the next few days to soak in all of the Christmas awesomeness, but I will see you all on Monday! In the meantime, I wanted to simply leave you with the words of one of my favorite Christmas songs, and it seems especially fitting on Christmas Eve, as I reflect on the One sent to this world as a light in darkness, a peace in chaos, and a Savior in desperation. May this season bring you His peace and true joy.

Tears are falling, hearts are breaking

How we need to hear from God

You've been promised, we've been waiting

Welcome Holy Child

Hope that you don't mind our manger

How I wish we would have known

But long-awaited Holy Stranger

Make Yourself at home

Please make Yourself at home

Bring Your peace into our violence

Bid our hungry souls be filled

Word now breaking Heaven's silence

Welcome to our world

Fragile finger sent to heal us

Tender brow prepared for thorn

Tiny heart whose blood will save us

Unto us is born

Unto us is born

So wrap our injured flesh around You

Breathe our air and walk our sod

Rob our sin and make us holy

Perfect Son of God

Perfect Son of God

Welcome to our world
