The prize

This is Lily.  Not the newest addition to the Hernandez clan, but certainly one of the most beautiful additions in recent time.  This picture is from Thanksgiving.  I am posting it now because it reminds of something important during the hectic holiday season.  

Keep my eyes on the prize.

This is an over simplified way of saying that it is all about Christ.  About the gift of eternal life given to us by God.  I'm certainly not a poet and can't quote scripture quickly (or even accurately),  but you get the drift.  My wish for all of you this season is that you do not get 

distracted by Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrel (this is tough), stamps and cards, holiday madness and rushing about- but that you remember to keep your eyes on the prize.

And if not, this will just be a good reminder for me.  

My best wishes to all!!
