And sometimes when I hear other people say, "I am so excited for Christmas!" I think gosh, I wish I was. But this Christmas my baby will be in a hospital and I will probably spend most of Christmas there with him.
But before all of you say, "Gosh, there you go complaining how hard your life is again". I have been thinking about how it is a wonderful thing that this year, Christmas is ALL about a baby.
After all, the first Christmas in Bethlehem was ALL about a baby. The Christ child. That child was a miracle baby too. In fact, even more so because he is our Redeemer and Savior. I know He lives and loves me. I feel his love every time I am holding our baby Nolan, or see cheerful people carrying presents and meals in and out of the children's cancer unit at Primary Children's hospital. I feel it every time I see parents escort their special needs children into the hospital.
In fact, I think Christ is very present at hospitals, comforting the sick and afflicted, as he has and always will do.
Josh and I are lucky we are spending Christmas this way. I think it is a Christmas we will never forget.
Oh and before I forget---super cute pictures of Nolan.
Great post Amy. Seriously.
