You know how when something major or tragic happens, nothing else seems at all important except being with your family? That's sort of how I feel right now. Plus, it's almost Christmas, and being present at home just feels extra right.
I've been thinking about what happened in Connecticut this weekend, and my heart has been heavy. It is my faith in my Father in Heaven, His son, Jesus Christ, and their plan for me and my family that brings me the most comfort in times like these. I pray that those affected by the tragedy can feel that same peace, especially during this Christmas season.
So I will wish you and yours a very merry Christmas (a little bit early), and I hope to see you back here in a couple of weeks.
p.s. This essay about God and Newtown was my favorite.
