Fine snow falling
flake by flake.
Each flake falls
in its own proper place.

My heart has been pretty full the last little while. As many of you know, my son has a rare neuromuscular disorder--one that will, someday, take his life. We have been privileged to be in contact with other parents whose children are afflicted with this disease. While that is in so many ways a blessing, in other ways it can be truly heart-rendering: I get very attached to these children, and when one of them passes, it is hard, as well as a sickening reminder of my child's mortality. Well, that happened this past week...one beautiful, perfect little girl went home.

I'm going to start following my baby's example and give myself a huge smile every time I look in the mirror.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great bjoy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. - Luke 2:8-14
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. - Isaiah 9:6

My favorite holiday story is The Fourth Wise Man. There are different versions of it, but the one I know and love tells the tale of a man named Artaban. Artaban was supposed to meet the other Wise Men when the star proclaiming the Savior's birth appeared. They had a plan to travel to the birthplace of the Son of God and present their precious gifts of gold, frankinsense, myrrh, and several large jewels that Artaban would bring. When the star showed, however, Artaban was late, and the others went on without him.Devon is wife to a wonderful guy and mom to a superhero.
