Christmas 2009

It is Christmas time again, and another year passes. The house is quiet, with the exception of Avan's 'go to sleep' music playing down the hall and the dog trying to get comfortable on the couch. My husband lies sleeping in the recliner, and everything is at a peaceful state as I sit. So much has passed these 3 years. Sometimes when I reflect back I have to hold back tears. Things are never as we plan. You never expect things to be perfect, but sometimes you wish that it could be easier. The dearest things in life are people, and I've come to realize that it costs a lot to love someone. Because when you love someone you give them your heart. And when they leave, your heart is still left behind and it falls and it breaks. But then God is there to pick up those pieces and "bind up the brokenhearted". God still holds us even if we break. He holds our pieces in His hands, and somehow manages to put us back together. The creator knows how each piece fits, and knows how to put us back. He knows when no one else can.
