We spent Christmas this year with our extended family, out at the Refuge, where this beautiful tree adorned the corner of the Great Room. I spent some time, sitting in the dark, thinking quiet happy thoughts about Christmas and the King who came to Earth so that we could be saved from our sins.
I’ve always loved white lights, golden ornaments, and red apples on a Christmas tree.
On this first day of 2012, I’m still looking back to the awe and wonder that Christmas always evokes in my heart — how could such a holy God be willing to come to our planet as a baby?
