I’m Dreaming…
…of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know…man, I could sing the whole song and it would all be true. We are indeed only a couple of weeks (minus a day or two) from planting our feet onto the frozen ground of Canada! We are all a-tizzy with excitement about getting back to our families and friends, introducing Julia to the family that she has only heard about (and seen pictures of), and enjoying the cold white snow of home (hopefully there is some of that white stuff around!). What could be better than hunkering down in front of the fireplace with family we haven’t seen in a long, long time, and enjoying just being together? And at a time of year that memories are made of? It seems like God had special plans for us all along, when he helped us get through the disappointment of not getting back home for a long summer break…and this was what he was saving for us – the opportunity to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the savior of the world, with those that we care about most. He is truly good to us.
So, as we anticipate our travels, do our Christmas shopping, get the last minute school things done, and all of that, we know that things will be just as busy, if not busier, over on the other side of the pond. We’ve got some business stuff to take care of (some things you just can’t do over email!), and a lot of outfitting to do (the equatorial sun sure does a number on cotton shirts!). So, that, on top of spending as much time as we can with fam and pals will make for a whirlwind tour of the two most favored prairie provinces. We can’t wait!!
So, since this’ll be the last post before our trip and our best Christmas ever (or at least, in the last 3 years), we wish you God’ s richest blessings and goodness during the Christmas season, and a magnificent new year.
Wes and Jeannie, and the kids.
