Hello, December.
My merry December,
I’m so glad you’re here to stay for 31 days, maybe the best days of everyone’s year. You hold so much in your 31 days, but I think the greatest thing you have in your bag of gifts is a month full of promise.
I’ll tell you a secret as long as you promise to zip your little lips, Mr. December! The truth is, you’re my favorite month of the year by far. I used to think I liked November better, but I’m making an executive decision that you will be my favorite month this year. Motion accepted, verdict given!
You, December, are a month that we can all understand no matter where we live or what language we speak. You’ve got a bag full of memories to be made, don’t you? I can see myself rushing in from the cold after a quiet day in the office, Christmas tree waiting for me in the living room. And even though the thought of that should make me feel lonely, it doesn’t. Because this year, more than ever before, it’s about me and a baby that changed my life.
A baby that arrived a couple thousand years ago.
That baby, who found Himself cradled in a manger, will be our guest in a house that only He can make a home during your stay, December.
Because any house that He lives in can’t help but turn into a home.
Love,
Amy Beth

Amy Beth,
You have an amazing focus. I think it’s great that you record these wonderful thoughts on your blog. When you can’t think of a reason to smile, you can come back to your own blog and read it.

Amy Beth,
Beautifully written. Thank you for sharing yourself…real and genuine and reminding us that our lives have been changed because of Jesus…who humbled Himself to be born in a manger and then to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins…we are so unworthy, but HE has redeemed our lives.
I pray that you have the most wonderful and blessed 31 days of December.
Thank you for touching our lives with your heart.
