Today was a long day. I sat with an elderly lady from around 10-6. I was really tired from yesterday, and battling a migraine. I watched 3 movies, and crocheted a good bit. I got home, tucked in the kids, and laid down the no giggling, no whispering, no talking rule. You see, my little cousins Sarah and Anna are sleeping over, while they are in town. I was stressed out from being tired, and no one would cooperate with bed-getting-ready rituals and what-not. I was thinking, "If they make another noise I am SO separating them!!" until I remembered what it's like to go to bed when your friends are with you. =) It is SO HARD not to giggle and talk the night away, and it's really really frustrating because you think of something you are going to say and then the moment before it comes out of your mouth - --- ! You're not allowed to talk! Augh! Good thing you remembered. =)
So, they just finished a 30 second spell of whispering/giggling, and I didn't bust them. They get to do this once a year.
Christmas is so sweet because we remember what Christ did for us, by coming to earth in the most horrible place - a stable!, and dying for us in the most horrible death - crucifixion, and the gift he has given us - eternal life. What wondrous love! And, in celebration of that, families come together and spend time with each other. That is sweet.
Hooray for siblings, cousins, grandparents - family! And Hallelujah to my sweet Jesus, who has given us eternal.
