“Do not be afraid, I bring you good news. A baby has been born in Stablehem.”
(Luke 2:10-11, Lucy Opal’s version)
I loved hearing Lucy say this verse over and over this Christmas season. The words “good news” kept standing out to me. Everyday for the past 9 months (usually several times each day if I’m honest), I have found myself searching my email for “good news”. I am thankful to be reminded this Christmas that each morning we wake up to the greatest “good news” we could possibly have.
Even though this holiday wasn’t quite how we expected it would be, and we so greatly missed sharing it with our Joah, we really had a wonderful Christmas. Darrel had this past week off, so once we knew we wouldn’t get to travel to Ethiopia, we planned some last minute family fun.
It started off with a Christmas Eve 5K. . .
followed by some fun presents. . .
then a visit with Grandpa and Grandma and some ice skating. . .
and a trip to the beach. . .
Looks like a great week! SOOOO looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!!
