On Christmas Eve, I found myself in front of our tree admiring the Christmas lights and so grateful for a feeling of peace this Christmas season. We slowed down this year and I enjoyed the Christmas season in a different way--without the hustle and bustle and without a lot of worry about getting the "perfect" presents for everyone. Oh, we were still blessed with too much under our tree--lots that will keep us entertained and learning, and that will be useful too.
Our adoption will take place in just a few days and that brings the biggest peace--to think, our children will be ours legally and then we can prepare to head to the temple to be sealed as an eternal family. What peace being a forever family brings!
I am so blessed to have peace in my marriage--we don't always see eye to eye, but we work things out. Eric has given me a lot of strength and comfort.
My greatest peace comes from my Savior, Jesus Christ. I'm grateful for his birth, his life, the atonement, and his resurrection. I understand His plan of happiness. I find so much peace all year long because of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
There are so many reasons that I love you and your family - not the least of which is your amazing insight for one so young. You inspire me every time I read your words. I could not be more thrilled for you and the impending adoption. Our family wishes your family nothing but great joy and happiness and years and years of amazing times together.
