Just some stills from our Christmas morning - We commenced with family worship, singing "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and "O Come All Ye Faithful" to Alex's accompaniment. We each shared why we thank the Lord for Christmas and one another. Alex read Luke 2 from the ESV Big Picture Bible while I read Luke 2 from Child's Story Bible. We recited Matthew 1:21, our memory verse for Advent this year, and ended with prayer. Serene and Valor treated us all to a lovely Christmas piano recital, for which they had been preparing the past few weeks. Then we opened gifts, right in time for Candor to join us on his first Christmas. I had to capture him in his Christmas pajamas, the same one Valor donned on his first Christmas. It was a happy, warm, slow morning savoring the gift of Christ, one another, and undeserved grace.
"In towering grace, He laid aside His glory,
And in our place, was sacrificed for sin.
Fall on your knees, O hear the gospel story.
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!"
