It’s 10 p.m. December 24 & it’s finally beginning to look a little like Christmas at the Gilliland abode.
I thought all I would have was the small lighted tree we got at an estate sale last year. Then Facebook reminded me again of “the little animals” — and I knew this Holy Night was perfect timing to get out the small Nativity set that holds memories of my Daddy.
A gift of a Christmas ornament along with Pastor Stephen’s message during the Christmas Eve candlelight & communion worship service prompted me to display & enjoy a few more of my favorite decorations.
Nothing fancy. Eight-year-old Pat might have done it better. Or maybe not.
So maybe God is telling Pat (again!) at 65 it’s OK. It’s good enough. It was OK then & it’s OK now. God invites me to feel the joy of being me, loved & delighted in & accepted by Him, just as I am.
