The Night Heaven Drew Near It happened quietly in a stable no one noticed, under stars no one named. While the world hurried past, Heaven slowed down. Angels sang. Shepherds knelt. And Love took its first breath on earth. No palace. No crown. Just peace wrapped in swaddling cloth, and the promise that God would never be far again. Luke 2:1-16
A big thank you to my Mum, for all those amazing Christmases I've never thought to thank you for, all the effort that you made, to grant every wish and more. For all the stress you must have felt, throughout the chaos of December, just to see our faces, making memories we will always remember. For the wonderful stories you would tell me, about Santa and his sleigh, so I could feel the wonder, on the lead-up to Christmas Day. Thanks for being the magic and not just at Christmas time, you've filled my life with so much love and I'm so glad to say you're mine.
Look for the good In a world that holds so much pain, with no sign of the dark getting lighter, look for your blessings and hold them just a little bit tighter. Those blessings that bring out beauty in the smallest of things, the ones so mundane yet make your heart sing. The first signs of new seasons, the smiles from a stranger and the little gifts without reason. Quiet nights in, in a house that keeps you warm and safe. All the noise and chaos, that you'd never replace. Being tucked up in bed every evening, with the privilege to have dreams to really believe in. In a world that holds so much pain, with no sign of the dark getting lighter, count your blessings and hold them just a little bit tighter.
Let's celebrate life's little blessings together. A space to share what you're thankful for and cultivate a habit of gratitude. Inspire others and be inspired by the power of appreciation.
