i made the fronts for these christmas pillows in the days before pete had his cardiac arrest. the night of the accident i snuggled up next to him while he was reading. i kept thinking that i needed to get up and sew the backs on these pillows. i finally surrendered to how nice it felt laying with him, so i scratched the pillows and fell asleep next to him there. that was the right thing to have done.
yesterday it hit me that the single word message on these pillows needed to be displayed in our home THIS holiday season; they couldn't wait until next year, so i put the backs on these pillows yesterday. 'peace' and 'joy' are exactly what we have experienced over the last 10 days. when i was making these pillows i kept asking pete what words i should put on them. i was thinking of christmas words like 'merry', but we decided together that 'peace' and 'joy' are the best words for christmas. i'm grateful these are the words we chose. never have i understood so fully what those words really mean, and they are the best christmas words. peace and joy are some of the greatest gifts offered by jesus christ, and since this is a celebration of HIS birth they are even more appropriate. hopefully each one of you will feel peace and joy in your homes at a whole new level this year and always.
