It’s finally time to take the Christmas tree and decorations down. A little reluctantly, this year. Family tradition holds… that we keep the decorations up through New Years.?Usually I’m happy to get things back to normal about this time. However, this year,?those beautiful black and silver ornaments are a reminder of the most wonderful Christmas I can remember. God has done so much for our family this past year, even in the past few months. After standing for years for some salvations and restorations, they’ve suddenly happened. The joy and peace of those relationships this Christmas?has been amazing. So, we start off this year with great anticipation of what lies ahead. God has so much more.
