During this season when we spend so much time worrying about finding just the right gift, how to pay for it all, when to get it all done, how to fit time with everyone into our over packed schedules, etc., i thought I would share the true desires of my heart this Christmas. They don't come from a store. To me, these are all intertwined within my heart, and are not only my wish for Christmas but for every day of the year.
- Quiet time with my husband
- Play time with D and the kids
- Play time with my friends and family =)
- Worship service at my church on Christmas eve, to remember and focus the true meaning of Christmas and the eternal gift it gives us
- For every one I love to have a peaceful, and fun Christmas full of blessings
- For those going without this year, those who are hurting or those who are lost; that at least one will touch their lives and give them hope for their future and show them that true love (not talking bout the romantic kind here) does still exist
- For those who are in the midst of war, or have loved ones in the midst, would have a safe and reflective Christmas full of hope and love
- That the ones who have the power to bring about change, will open their hearts and minds, so that peace may enter.
- That they would then do what REALLY needs to be done and stop working their own agendas
- That all would stop amongst all the chaos of the season and remember how it all started, understanding that its not all about presents, Santa and goodies, but about a baby whose prophesied birth was the very first Christmas gift, that is still the eternal gift, and is the only gift that will ever truly matter at the end of time
- That everyone, young and old, would take a moment of time to pass on some kindness to another. You never know when that moment will be someones No. 6 (yes, go back and read no. 6)
- That we will be able to create memories for our children, that will impact their hearts and create a legacy that they can then pass on to their children.
- That joy, peace and love be with you all, this Christmas, every Christmas and every day in between.

I like how you made it kadiwhompus on the cardboard. I think I will copy you!
