I had an epiphany of sorts last night. Without going into the long tear-laced details, let’s just say I realized normal everyday beauty has been missing from my life. Not that I am not surrounded by a multitude of beautiful things, but I just haven’t been seeing them lately.
Enter my Christmas project: Seeing Christmas Clearly!
I am going to do my very best to see and document something beautiful everyday for the rest of the month. It may be something I see or do or experience or remember or whatever – but something beautiful. Something that reminds me that Christ loves me. That this season celebrates Him. And if I can see the beauty He pours into my everyday life, I will see Him.
For my Seeing Christmas Clearly post today I have gift tags the littles and I made before school this morning. We covered the table with scissors and glue sticks and markers and all different kinds of paper and ribbons and yarn and went to town making something a little extra special for those we love the most. We listened to Christmas music and praised each other’s ideas. They turned out beautifully and the spirit of the morning was beautiful! And I felt happy and blessed.
What will you see this Christmas season?
