Just a little post about how much happiness I see around me during the holiday season. As I've grown older, I have come to realize that Christmas really isn't about how many presents you receive or how flashy they are. It's about filling your own heart and others hearts with overflowing joy, and cherishing the happiness you all can share. It's a time to thank your wonderful God for blessing you with a healthy life full of people you love, in a country that brave men and women fight to protect the freedom you enjoy. Yes, as I've grown older, I've realized the holidays are about rejoicing in your blessings.
I took this picture on Christmas, and although it doesn't appear to have anything to do with Christmas, it really captured the ideas I mentioned above (at least in my opinion). We were celebrating MomMom N's birthday with a cake, and it really touched my heart when I looked at the picture and saw the absolute happiness radiating from her. I just wanted to share it with all of you, and I hope it touches your heart in some way like it did mine.
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas (and any other holidays you may celebrate!).
