Merry Christmas!

From Korea with love. Happy to report that all of the children are in their beds dreaming of St. Nicholas.

Even happier to report that they are all wearing matching pajamas sewed by one festive Mama!

And super, super excited that I'm on my way to bed and it's only MIDNIGHT!!


After reading the story of Christ's birth from the book of Luke tonight, Darin asked Ruby what the job of a shepherd was, just to see if she'd been listening. Her answer was, "A shepherd's job was to take care of sheep, and watch the sky for new stars."

Her answer struck me. May we all be the type of people this year who can recognize the light of Christ in our own lives, just like the shepherds were able to recognize the new star in the sky.

Merry Christmas, and GOOD NIGHT!!
