I wrote this on our chalkboard in our kitchen this week. "He is coming! He Lives! Get excited". Usually Rainer puts the messages on our board, but I did this one. I love Christmas. Everything about it. Mostly. I love the music, decorating, buying-wrapping-giving gifts, and especially telling Alice about what we are celebrating! We need a Savior and our loving Father sent one. His own Son. Praise God.
