In Awe of a Savior

The past few months have been the most difficult months that I have ever faced. But through it all, I have been comforted by my Heavenly Father in ways I never had before. As I look toward the Christmas holiday, I am constantly reminded of the significance of our Savior's birth and that He was born so that we may live. I know that He knows my pain. He has provided me with comfort beyond my understanding. I have experienced so much pain and, yes, even joy over these past few months.  I am in awe of His love and compassion towards me. And while I miss my daughter tremendously, I can't help but be reminded that she is with Him right now. She will be spending this Christmas with the One whom we honor during this holiday. She is standing in the presence of her Savior and she is experiencing pure JOY. While I would like nothing more for her to be here with me, I know that there is no better place than where she is now. One day, I will be there too, celebrating along with herJ  Thank you Father, for the promises given to us and the hope that we will one day see, again, those we love so dearly.
