"Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Luke 12:34....May your heart be at home in Him always, and may His love bless your days with great joy."
Those were the precious words on a Christmas card we received this year from friends...and those are the very same words that, to me, sum up where our hearts should be at on Christmas and always!
As a believer, our hearts should daily be full of great joy as we medidate on God's great gift of salvation that has been given to us. For the joy that was set before Him (Jesus) He endured the cross so that we might be saved...and, in joy, we now live in that great reality! There is sweet joy in both the giving of gifts and for those who receive them, as well.
With that, I wanted to take a blog post and devote it simply to "hugs and faces". There were a lot of expressions of delight and many hugs given on Christmas Day as an overflow of the happiness that came from the gift that was given and received. My brother took oodles of pictures and did a great job capturing some precious moments!
