Christmas Eve

It's Christmas Eve. It's hard to believe. It doesn't quite seem real. It has come up on me so fast this year. I wonder if that is a little bit how Mary felt on the eve of her baby boy's birth. When I went to the hospital to have Ryan it was a little strange to know that we would be coming back with a whole new little person. I remember it not seeming quite real. Can you imagine not even knowing where you were going to spend the night all the while having contractions?! That couldn't have seemed real. I would have been Fah-REAKing out! Talk about a stressful birth. I'm thinking Mary's trust in the Lord really paid off at that point. I wish I had her complete faith and trust.
