Christmas Time is here

So Christmas time is here... i always try to wrap my brain around Christmas and i always have a hard time. this Christmas i thought for sure i would have this huge revelation about the true meaning and depth of the season with Finn in our house. i thought holding a little baby would make me realize exactly what it meant that God became a little baby... but i still am having a tough time getting my brain and maybe my heart around the whole thing.

i guess this Christmas has to be about faith. it has to be about a faith in God that is more than me or my ability to "get it". i guess this Christmas i am learning to "choose" to believe the power and the wonder of the Christmas story. it doesn't depend on my ability to feel Christmassy feelings or to get my cognitive brain around it all. i am going to simply say thank you to a God who knows that i am not there yet, but who is committed to helping me try.

so thank you Jesus for becoming a baby just like little Finn so that one day Finn can know you in a powerful way, even if he doesn't alwys "get it".
