Once school begins in September, it isn't long before we're seeing Halloween costumes and candy in the stores, the leaves change and fall, it's November and Thanksgiving, and suddenly December is upon us! The last four months of the year just seem to fly by! And even though I've been thinking about Christmas since September, and trying to get as much as possible done early on, I always feel a mild sort of panic settle in when I see that 12 in the month column. So many things to think about, plan, accomplish in these few meager weeks!
So this year, I bought myself an early gift: the little Nativity pin you see above. I found it at Darlene Hardenbrook's Etsy shop
Freeheart1 (where she has some beautiful polymer clay pieces - the design of this one is so special, she had it copyrighted!). I hope it will be the perfect little reminder to myself not to get caught up in the anxiety of rushing, buying, wrapping, overdoing, but instead to take it one moment and one day at a time, and try to prepare my
heart for the Savior's birth. Amen to that!
