Christmas Devotional

Tonight was the annual 1st Presidency Christmas Devotional, and the salve to my soul. I've been blessed in the last several days to have felt more at peace. Attending church today was a blessing, in every way. We still don't have answers, but we have appointments scheduled for next week with specialists who will hopefully give us a complete diagnosis, and then treatment options. The hardest part of Tad's illness so far has been the lack of answers and information. It comes down to the fear of the unknown. Knowledge is power. I have to keep reminding myself to have more faith than fear. Sometimes faith wins by a whisker, but it still wins. We have been very blessed throughout this whole situation, and we know that a loving Father knows and sees all, and we just need to have faith in Him to get us through this trial. He knows how things will end, and we have been blessed to know that they will end well. Attending tonight's Christmas Devotional was just another reminder of our Father's love for us. The talks were inspiring and uplifting, and provided a much-needed infusion of the Christmas Spirit. Tomorrow we will put up our Christmas Tree, and it will be lovely, as usual. Thank goodness for family and traditions.
