Having a child brings a new meaning to Christmas

Most people say having a child brings a new meaning to Christmas and I’m sure the “meaning” they are speaking of will be true for me as well.  It will be more exciting to see Henry opening gifts and to see that part of the season through his eyes.  His life has brought more meaning to the true meaning of Christmas.  It’s true you cannot identify with true loss unless you have been through it.  It’s true you cannot identify with the joy of being a mother unless you are one.  The combination of both in less than a year’s time has made me think of Mary’s life and our Savior’s life and death in a whole new realm.  The loss of my brother has given some level of identification with her loss.  The birth of my son blows my mind of her life and her call.  It blows my mind at God’s love for us – that He would give His only Son… for me.  I am so madly in love with my son – my mind can’t go there.  Mary.  Told she was to bear God’s child.  Giving birth to this child.  Holding and loving this baby.
