Merry Christmas Give-Away!

Merry Christmas Eve everyone!  I know that everyone will be busy with family over the next few days, so I wanted to send my greetings out today.  My thoughts are with those of you who are holding new little ones in your arms this very special Christmas.  Savor and treasure every moment!  For those who are awaiting the arrival of a bundle of joy, sit back and relax, knowing that your life will be forever changed in a few short days/weeks/months.  And to those who are still waiting - like me - an extra special prayer goes out for you over this holiday that will likely be filled with both joy and tears.  I encourage you to read the Christmas story out of the book of Luke, but read the story before the birth of Jesus, about the birth of his cousin, John.  John was born to parents that were barren.  It's a miraculous story!  I pray for peace in your time of waiting, joy in the sorrow, and hearts filled with love for the things that have been given to you.  

Oh, and before I forget, I want to thank you for being my blog readers with a special blog give-away.  You have been there for me in ways that no one else has.  It has been so important to know that there are others who are going through what I am, and who understand what I write about.  I won't reveal what the gift is yet, except to say that it is handmade and (hopefully) will be beautiful.  To enter the give-away, just leave a comment on this post.  The winner will be announced on Jan. 1, 2013. 

Merry Christmas everyone!
