Seemingly Small Moments

Christina's Update: Today, December 23:  Despite the tough round of chemo he is enduring, Blake's doctor commented that she has been very impressed. His appetite has increased, and he is full of energy and personality. I even had to threaten time-out today...so my stubborn, strong-willed, charming and hilarious little boy is back in full force Merry Christmas!

... ... ...

I can't think of a better Christmas gift ...thank you for your prayers and for celebrating the seemingly simple steps that are such giant leaps for us these days.

In the growing list of "who would have thought" that we are walking through, we add another few today...Who would have thought that a simple meal of ham and cheerios, a couple of pieces of pizza and a "threatened" time out would be such cause for celebration...but these days, they certainly are.

How appropriate to the season that today we celebrate the seemingly smallest of moments.

Today my heart slips to a moment in time when Wise Men followed a star...and Shepherds ran looking to find...a babe in a manger. In a city filled with people and places and things...what a seemingly small moment.

With every passing day, I recognize more fully that the greatest gifts to my heart often come wrapped in the smallest of moments. I realize that the moments that arrive without intentional fanfare, aren't really so small after all.

Today, I am grateful for a little boy, who had the energy to have a "threatened" time-out cross his path.

Thank you for your prayers...and the very best of Christmas Blessings to you and those you love.

Enjoy the small things that cross your path today, you never know how big those moments will be tomorrow.
