bless all the dear children

How do they grow so quickly? Little babes, toddling around, and now, half of them basically teenagers.

Sometimes they fight and scrap, but sometimes they wash dishes together in the morning sunlight, while a pair of fat bluejays shake the branches just outside the window.

-Be near them, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay

Close by them forever, and love them, I pray.

Merry Christmas, friends.
