TEXARKANA MAGAZINE
the Creator of the entire universe despite my flaws, and that’s a miracle only Jesus could pull off. TAKE THAT SANTA! For my birthday this year, the only kinds of gifts I want are the warmth of unconditional love, relationships that strengthen and uplift me, and laughter that spills over and fills every hardened or bitter crevice of my heart. The world tends to breed that malice in us sometimes as we grow up–contempt where there should be unrelenting affection, hostility where there should be generosity, or resentment where there should be unbridled forgiveness. Do not allow the world to harden your heart. Open yourself up to joy. Above all, I am grateful for December—a time to celebrate, to laugh, to reflect, and to give thanks. For me, the joy of Christmas and my birthday won’t be found in presents or parties, but in the moments of connection and reflection. This holiday season, let’s celebrate with joy, with gratitude, and with hearts full of awe. Merry Christmas, friends, and a very happy birthday to Jesus… and Bailey!
