The Older I get...

My dear friend got a Christmas Card that had this poem below.
That is so true, that the older I get, the more Christmas means to me.
Sorry I haven't written lately, this Mono is kicking my energy. I am in
my Jammies more than regular clothes these days! Guess that is ok.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I hope to start writing soon.
Cozy up.    Encourage guests to kick off their shoes and stay awhile by setting baskets of cute socks near the fire that they can slip on. Lots of blankets and floor pillows enhance the lounge-y vibe, though be forewarned: you’re guaranteed to have a few guests linger way past dinnertime!

THE OLDER I GET . . .
the simpler my holiday preparations become . . .
the closer I feel to old friends as I write my Christmas cards . . .
the more I cherish the oldest ornaments . . .
the more fondly I remember Christmases past . . .
the longer I hold on to a holiday hug . . .
the more I realize Christmas is a matter of the heart . . .
the tighter my throat gets when I sing "Silent Night". . .
the more I enjoy giving than receiving . . .
the more I try to see Christmas through the eyes of a child . . .
the longer I sit at night in the glow of the Christmas tree. . .
the more wondrously beautiful the Christmas story is . . .
the deeper my awe at God's infinite love . . .
the More I Love Christmas!
Ephesians 1:17 "I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him."
