we have a new addition to the family! he is an adorable black and grey tiger print kitten! his name is sully and is simply the cutest little kitty. him and his brother, booger (a 13 year old dauschund), are getting along famously. :)
i have realized on the way home from work (currently a 50 min -1 1/2 hour drive) is that i am so ready for christmas. i am ready for the smell of evergreen. im ready for the smell of snow (as crazy as that sounds!!!) i am yearning for the tree to be put up. is it too early to put up the tree? i am ready for the radio station of 24 hour 'holiday' music. i want to teach my daughter to sing fa la la. i am ready for the smell of a fire in a fireplace...even if its not in my house (which would be good because we dont have a fireplace!) im ready for the lights outlining the houses.
i'm ready for the unwarrented joy. i'm ready for the unconditional hope. it is something unique about the christmas season.
there are 2 types of people in the holiday season. the overly happy people and the people who are grumpy. everyone ends up the same though, to a varying degree. everyone experiences some joy. everyone sees a glimmer of hope.
i have my hope. i see it right in front of me. i want to feel that hope all the time! and that is the promise with the christmas spirit. that is the promise of love. that is the promise of God.
