December 24, 2011 (aka Christmas Eve!)
the one where we celebrated Christmas Eve by bringing my Grandma flowers, going to the Vigil Mass (and watching the Christmas Pageant at St. Joseph’s), and ending the night with “It’s a Wonderful Life!” Two of the greatest reminders today:
1) that the Creator of the Universe chose to come down and meet us in the form of a baby over 2000 years ago—and that moment changed everything! Such a divine mystery stirs up wonder and awe in my heart. Oh, how he loves us!
2) that God weaves all of our lives together in a pattern that may look odd to us, but makes perfect sense in the grand scheme of things! Only when George Bailey was able to see how the world would have been if he had never been born was he able to truly appreciate all the gifts and blessings he had been given—and how his life impacted the lives of others—and his thankfulness caused him to overflow with joy! If only we could see life with those eyes everyday…we’d be very, very happy people!
Today’s Christmas song is a simple one. I love to just close my eyes and listen to it. Such a pretty song!
