Tonight as I'm heading home from being in Cookeville for Christmas dinner with my brother & sister in law, I'm being reminded that the little kiddos that I blessed with some Christmas presents this year, are opening tonight one of the Christmas presents I gave them---the book, "the night before Christmas".
It was always a tradition of mine that I will carry over to my children one day. & it a big part of my childhood that I remember, it sparked the excitement in me right before I would go to bed for the evening, right before Santa would come. I wanted these little kiddos to have the same excitement as I had. I wanted them to start a tradition.
Tonight my mind is lingering on them & their beautiful faces. I still remember each & every one of them by name & the lovely smiles that came across their faces as I walked in the door & placed some presents under their tree.
Those kiddos will always & forever be apart of my life. In my memory, they will stay.
Tonight, they are being held dear in my heart. I hope as they go to sleep tonight with the excitement of Santa coming in the morning & opening gifts, they are filled with the childlike giddiness.
&&, the parents remember that God is our provider. I wasn't the one that supplied the gifts. God did, I just followed His instructions.
Grace.
