I'm finding it easy to get caught up in our everyday life and briefly forget about the fact that we are on the edge of a major life change. It's the simple things like seeing a mother loving on her baby, or planning something on the calendar for 2011, or preparing Christmas cards that brings everything back to reality and stirs up the anticipation of bringing a new baby boy home for the first time.
With the Christmas season quickly seeping into every aspect of our lives, the excitement of adoption continues to build. It brings reminders of all the changes to come with thoughts of our last Christmas pictures with just the four of us...thoughts of waking up Christmas morning without a baby playing with all of the paper and boxes...and not worrying about 'baby-proofing' the Christmas tree, everything changes the minute we bring our new baby boy home for the first time.
I'm continued to be drawn to the fact that God delivered a new baby boy home for the first time on that cold night some 2,000 years ago as a Savior was born! My Savior was born...your Savior was born. My prayer during this special time of the year is that we reflect on the change that the birth of this baby boy brought to us. Change that lasts an eternity...everlasting change as we are cleansed white as snow and walk with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas!
