The Most Beautiful Thing

I saw the most beautiful thing today, and you would never guess it was right in my own home.

I bought little mirror balls last year to put on my tree. I always thought they were pretty, but what I wanted them to do was reflect the light. They never did last year and they hadn't this year, until today. Our tree fell over last night and I was too tired to put it back together. So after a good nap today I got right on it. It started to look dark in my living room so I opened the blinds on the west side of the room and bam, the room was glittering. The light hit that globe and sent hundreds of little lights all over the room. Then Miss Belle came in and wonder flooded her face. It truly was magic. I stood there for who knows how long just in awe. It truly was the magic of Christmas right there in my house, one of Gods tender mercies reminding me what is really important in this life. My children and my family! God's light was right there in my living room not only reflecting from the dollar store mirror ball, but my babies face.
