Dear Little Girl,
Christmas Eve has a way of holding everything at once.
Joy and ache.
Gratitude and longing.
Full rooms and the awareness that time is fleeting.
Today, tonight, you don’t need to resolve any of it.
There are moments when God gives us a gift that isn’t loud or permanent—
just present.
A table that gathers again.
Laughter that feels familiar.
A sense of calm that gently returns, even if only for a night.
Scripture reminds us that God doesn’t write His covenant on stone anymore—
He writes it on hearts (Hebrews 8).
Which means today isn’t about doing more, fixing more, or proving anything.
It’s about remembering.
Remembering how far you’ve come.
Remembering that provision has met you again and again.
Remembering that love still shows up—in imperfect, human ways.
Faith doesn’t always feel like certainty.
Sometimes it feels like lighting a candle in the dark
and trusting that the light is enough for now.
So if your heart feels full and tender right now,
you’re doing Christmas right.
Dear Little Girl,
Let joy be joy without asking it to last forever.
Let peace be peace without demanding it solve tomorrow.
And let this moment be enough for right now.
God is near.
And that is the miracle.
God, thank You for this moment.
For presence instead of answers.
For light instead of certainty.
Help me receive what is here,
and trust You with what comes next.
Amen.
PS…Happy Eve Birthday to Jesus!!!!!
