I have been privy to ponder as of late. And ponder is indeed a verb apropos to times like these. As my mind thinks on the events of life that have led up to now, I have found myself nothing but grateful. I am a lucky one indeed. God has showered me with gifts: loving parents (including soon-to-be-in-laws, joyful Christmases, an incredible bride (8 days!). I have also marveled at the incredible way lives are weaved together on this earth.
The winds are changing, and the sails are being stretched to new heights and angles. This is a good thing. Amidst it all I am reminded that we exist for a very simple reason, and that by God's grace we were given the power to do it.
Sure, this might have been a pagan holiday assimilated by the Catholic Church to "convert" non-Christians, but I'll never put down remembering as a bad thing.
Merry Christmas!
