Yes the winter is upon us and the summer fun is behind us, but we still have things to look forward too. Our children are back in school and by now very accustomed to their individual schedules. Maybe now they are thinking about trick or treating, maybe thinking about snow but it’s too early for snow.
Nevertheless we have things to be excited about no matter the time of the year.
It is nice to be able to embrace each particular time of year and what individual things happen. Finding the fun and feeling the excitement keeps us looking to the future. We as humans (young or old) need to look for the good and loving things that surround us. Each day unique things happen, noticed or not.
Many years ago a wonderful thing happened and the world has been talking about and reading about it ever since.
Here with us in this world is an ever loving God that watches over us. He smiles with us when we are happy and He holds us in his arms when we need comfort. He is with us, always available to listen to us through prayer. So at this time of year and all times in our year there is the one gift that will excite us - our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
