This Christmas...

Well,
I've been silent on here for awhile now.
Not because there isn't anything to say,
or experiences or events that have opened my eyes-
but I can't express them all right now.

However, the holidays are coming up...
and I found this little blurb on another blog-
and I can't not share it.

Everyone is asking what people want for Christmas,
or getting this or that-
but I think this author and I are on the same page with what we need this year.

"I don’t want a Christmas that you can buy.

I don’t want a Christmas that you can make.

What I want is a Christmas that you can hold.

A Christmas that holds me, remakes me, revives me.

I want a Christmas that whispers — Jesus.

I want a Christmas that lives and breathes and moves in Jesus Christ.

I want for the God in the manger who makes Himself bread…

For the Saviour in swaddlings who makes Himself our robe of righteousness.

For the Christ who makes precisely what none of us can — Christmas.
It is only Christ alone who can make Christmas."

Yeah, this writer gets it.

A Christmas we can behold, and be held.

Joy in it's simplest, yet most important forms.

Wishing you nothing less than amazing this Christmas season.
