Peace and Joy

In the midst of our crazy, busy schedule, I've been trying to remember these two words. I'm thankful that I received the reminder (see here) that peace and joy come from obedience and service. It has definitely helped me this month. So, no, we're not really ready for Christmas, and I'm going to spend the next four days away from home, but that's okay. We're scaling back, the most important things will get done, and we'll still feel the real reason for the season. We hope you do as well.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
