Our Hearts Turn with the Seasons

Next week is Christmas.

Today I went to church for the first time in a good while and it felt like seeing my family for the first time in ages, it felt familiar and beautiful even if I can still find problems with my church I have lost the cynicism in my heart that kept me from embracing the good that is there.

Tonight we took communion and tonight I spoke to the Lord my Father truly and laid my burdens on him...my heart felt less heavy. I then understood later that the Lord lifted my burden so that I could take on a bit of someone else's, someone's burden I had known about but had not made my own until tonight.

I think I will make the most perfect mix CD ever.
