"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen" ~ Unknown
My daughter arrived home today!! Christmas break ... 30 days home, before her last semester. Early this afternoon we ran a couple errands together, then came home and we watched the movie Elf ... and now Law and Order SVU "marathon" rolls on, as she is getting ready to go out with friends. It is so good to have another woman in the house. It is so good to be reminded of the love I already have!
The song I chose today for my countdown is one that I first remember hearing two years ago this season. I love the song, but not fond of the movie from which it comes ... so just close your eyes and listen to the words and Faith's beautiful voice. There is meaning in it for me as the Christmas before I first heard this song was both the most horrific I have had in the way of "loss" and the most wonderful I have had in the way of knowing what love should and could be. My world changed in so many ways three years ago ... I am forever grateful for the one who picked me up and pieced me back together. I don't know that he fully understands the gift he gave ... but I know. He gave me Christmas back. At a time it was brutally taken away, he gave it back to me. My heart rejoices in knowing love as that!
Where Are You Christmas
