It's the holiday season, which carries a lot with it. My birthday (oh hi, didn't see ya there 26). Fun family gatherings and the perfect excuse to get three more cups of hot coffee with friends. Sitting around the Advent wreath reflecting, singing and anticipating Jesus' coming. Lights, snow and general cozy merriment of small town Mount Carroll. This time of year is my favorite. Even here in Honduras the holiday tingle is in the air. You know the feeling, where you become overwhelmed at joy. When you can wear two (thin) layers of long sleeves and leggings and not sweat. When you're able to "sing" along with the tune of Christmas songs during posadas. When you break the rules and watch TWO holiday movies (one with the kids) on a random weeknight in the spirit of celebration. When you have so many bottle-up moments with your community that reflect the love and hope this season brings. ======= Watching all of our old-missionary friends and a few others
