Quoting Myself

Ha.  I just commented on Ree's blog; my comment was an entry to one of her many contests, but as I wrote I was struck by my own words...you know, how you can preach to yourself sometimes?

I wrote:

I love Christmas.  I love Advent, the hymns, the greenery, the lights.  I love how my children love those things too.  It's not all happy wonderful loveliness...tonight my attempt at an Advent lesson blew up in my face.  But, the beauty of the season (as well as the poignant reminder that I desperately need Jesus, who came as a tiny baby, so that he could grow up and die for me) brings me back to joy.

I just wanted to remember that I said that.  Like, maybe the next time the Advent lesson goes kablooey.
