green goodness

After a wonderful Christmas Day, I was desperate to get my run on and detox after all the rich food that was consumed yesterday.
I present to you my breakfast this morning...

Christmas Blessings

I awoke to the rain pounding on our roof. It was still dark. But this Christmas Eve I was to meet some of my closest friends for a walk through the forest at first light.

I have been on quite a journey this fall. God has revealed Himself to me in ways I could never dream. His grace has been abundant and His mercies new every morning. Today and everyday I need to give thanks for all the amazing gifts I have been given.

So today I am thankful for the amazing women God has brought into my life
For the beautiful trees that surround my home.
For the laughter that is shared.

The sun broke through just after 3:00 this afternoon as I was surrounded by my amazing family. The fog was glorious and the light shining through was breathtaking.
I watched my two five year old nieces dance together on the back porch with sunlight filtering through there hair.
I listened to my brother in law excitedly show me the incredible gift he had created for his wife.
Two sister in laws sat side by side with their pregnant bellies.

It was cold this evening as my little family stood amongst our neighbours and friends.
The sky was clear.
We were singing songs of joy.
Songs of love.
Songs of our Saviour's birth.
Hot chocolate and coffee were warming our hands.
Hugs were being given all around.

This Christmas may God's love shine on you and yours.

much love,
