I can't believe it's Christmas season. This time of year simply speeds by. I've been remiss with keeping up with my list, but my book is ever at my side, reminding me to look for those things to be thankful for. While I am keeping this list, I do have to remind myself to stop and actually thank God for these gifts. I truly have been given much and the opportunity to be able to look for these gifts, these joys, I hope are helping me to drink in this season in a way I haven't been able to before.
