It was a cold, snowy Christmas Eve, and all was quiet when the unexpected happened!
Christmas in years past had a magical quality that made me long for that feeling, especially the spiritual connection. However, I now found myself caught in between past and present Christmas desires. Longing for the excitement of the festivities, the loved ones, the food, and the opening of presents can make the season seem so joyous. How can such anticipations overshadow the true meaning of this wonderful time? How can unexpected circumstances bring everything crashing down only to be restored beyond all hope to unimaginable peace, joy, and love by a miraculous visit?
