CHRISTMAS 2006

Well Merry Christmas to all our dear friends and family. I can't believe that my favorite day of the year has come and gone. It's a good thing that I take seriously the 12 days of Christmas!

We spent the morning at home enjoyed each other and calling family to wish them a blessed Christmas. The girls enjoyed their traditional egg casserole for breakfast and I am sure our little Emma will get to enjoy it next year. :) The afternoon was spent at my sister's in Kentucky with her family. We had a wonderful dinner and time to visit with each other.

We are still waiting for our travel dates. Just keep praying that it will come soon and that all will come together with few if no glitches. :)

Have a Happy New Year!

Christmas is in the air!

Well, we are well on our way towards celebrating the birth or our Savior, Jesus Christ. As we prepare for this special celebration I have had time to reflect on what it means to "prepare". Just as we clean our homes and decorate them to the hilt with all the wonderful seasonal decor(I am currently deep into this faze) preparing to celebrate Christmas day, I realize that we need to be keeping our "human" temples, our spirit homes, in the same fashion. Clean on both the inside and out, presenting ourselves to our King in the best way that we can! Listening and reading the word of God, praying and just being like Jesus to others. How hard is that? We look forward to spending time with family and friends, exchanging gifts and sharing meals, isn't that what we will do in our eternal home!!God has surely provided us with the best training ground possible! I have also learned that God is always faithful to those who trust and wait upon Him. I don't need to be anxious, I try to remember that, and I know that God's timeing is just perfect! I am at peace waiting to travel to pick up our little Emma-lia from China. She has grown up over the months and is no more a baby, but a little girl! I cannot wait to meet her and to help her become a Bergeron family member. :) God has planned our family, even when we think we have it all set and done. What do I know?! So, we are waiting for a travel date and expect to hear in late Jan. 2007. My timing would be now, but we have to learn to wait on His timing, it is just right.
