Home for Christmas

Right now we are in Missoula visiting my parents. It's just so beautiful this morning waking up to the snow covered mountains and trees. We have spent the last 3 days outside playing in the snow; sledding, building snowmen, and snow forts. It reminds me of my childhood and all the fun we had as kids, but then I am quickly reminded of how old I am getting with my tale bone bruised from sledding yesterday. Ha Ha!

We will post some pictures soon. I pray everyone is having a wonderful Christmas season. We have so much to be grateful for, but the greatest gift of all is Jesus. We watched The Nativity Story last night, and I was reminded how humble God is. He sent his son, Jesus; the King of Kings, Lord of Lords to earth to be born in a stable! He didn't chose royalty to bring him into this world but a simple virgin woman (teenager to be exact) from Nazereth. His earthly father was no one of importance, but they obeyed what God had commanded them to do. Just blows my mind sometimes.

May we all remember what the true reason for Christmas is, and just think upon it.
