Our sermon today (which only I got to hear due to a fun Christmas puke from Luke) was about Christmas presents. Namely two: 1) the gift of Christ as a baby coming to earth to redeem us and 2) the gift of knowing the meaning Christmas and knowing Christ personally (so not just knowing he came but believing the message too). It was a nice service complete with one of my favorite traditions -- the singing of the Hallelujah Chorus.
The rest of the day was filled with many more Christmas blessings -- namely: happy kids and great time with family. We went to the VanderPloeg's today (the VLugt's are scheduled for Satruday) and despite a rough beginning to the day, everyone was healthy, happy, and having fun.
