Brennen's Turn

Brennen and his friend Peyson had a great time singing with our Church choir this past Sunday. They all gave us chills as they sang their little hearts out! These two have become fast friends and will celebrate their 7th birthdays just a few days apart. I'm still trying to process the fact that Brennen has asked for a laptop and an ipod that plays movies for Christmas. whats next?! Last night Brennen's school put on an amazing performance of the story of Jesus' birth. Each child did such an incredible job as they honored our Lord and Savior. The tissue definitely came in handy as they sang without even a hiccup.
Of course we thought Brennen was exceptional. He is always so serious about these kinds of things, and was up yesterday morning before 5:30 to make sure his lines were perfect! He sure does make a cute little Shepard doesn't he?
So...as we are finishing up all of our last minute shopping, gift wrapping, meal prepping and all that falls in between...take time to remember the ultimate gift being given to us already...that of eternal life and the love of Jesus Christ. And as we were reminded of last night...a gift is only a gift if it is received! We are truly blessed!
Happy Birthday Jesus!! Until next time...
