i plan to have a quiet, peaceful christmas eve—just me and my love,
some good food,
as many lit candles as i can find,
maybe a present or two,
the best music,
and joy.
joy because this year my health is so much better than last.
joy because my husband is employed
when half of the last two years he was not.
and mostly, joy because i have the gift of salvation.
i know the first two are circumstantial,
and we can have joy even in the midst
of difficult circumstances.
but i see the first two as blessings,
and i know that every perfect gift
comes from above.
so i am joyous over blessings in good times
and blessings in bad times
and everything in between.
i am joyous, for Christ my Redeemer
has redeemed me.
