...and therefore...I am in heaven with the beginning of fall. Although, secretly, I wish it were colder. I am ready for December to get here in all it's winter glory. I want it to snow. I want to make snow angels and have snowball fights. I want to put up the Christmas tree. I want to read the nativity story with my family. I want to buy gifts for others and watch their excitement at opening them. I want to watch my niece delight in probably the first Christmas she will remember. I want to watch Colby as he celebrates his second Christmas, and I want to watch the new one, whose name is yet unknown, bundled up and being passed around during his/her first Christmas.
I want to sing Christmas carols. I want to feel my nose grow cold and see my breathe. I want to bake cookies and drink hot cocoa. I want to snuggle under a blanket with my sister(s). I want to laugh at the silly things we get each other. I want to watch my family in joy and love. I want to spend time finding or making the perfect gift for the ones I love. I want to smell the muskiness from a wood burning stove. I want to recall memories with my siblings and stay up late playing games with them.
This time of year always reminds me of one of my favorite Bible verses.
By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened. Job 37:10
