Christmas Eve

We have two days of Christmas in the Clark family. Today we will go to my granddaddy's house and celebrate with my side of the family. Tomorrow all the Clark's will come here and we'll eat a big lunch and celebrate together. My kiddos are beyond excited and it is fun to watch them. I am trying to do last minute things and everyone is about to head out to clean their rooms. Because you know, Santa will not come to a house with dirty bedrooms. (I know, I am terrible.)

I love to get together with our families, I love presents, and I love yummy food. But, I hope to remember that this is not about me. This is about remembering. Remembering what God did for us. James said something a couple of days ago and I hope I always remember it.

We were looking at a Nativity story book together. He likes to talk about each person and each animal. He points them all out and makes the animal sounds. That day when he got to the manger he said, "Look Momma, it's Baby God."

Emmanuel, God With Us.
