Well, Christmas is almost upon us and the excitement is all around. I spoke in my last note about many people wanting to say Happy Holidays rather than Merry Christmas. I have been paying a lot of attention to this and I guess I was a little hard on the subject. I seem to hear Merry Christmas more than I realized. It is great that, as a group, we take this Birth of Jesus so highly. It is because of Him that we are all here. There was a sign at our Kindergarten that said "Here we still say Merry Christmas". This put a smile on my face when I read it.
I have been waking up in the morning with my back hurting more than usual. I don't know of anything that could be causing this, but I will deal with it. My tailbone is hurting more often, too. Another one of those mysteries when God is testing me to make sure i am still moving forward.
We will be getting together tonight with my family. My niece is in town and the family wanted to get together before Megan and Matt went to Dallas to see his parents. Mom and Dad will be here and everyone but Breanna will be there. Brea had a trip to Colorado planned to go play in the snow while school was out and this was the best time to go. We will miss her tonight, but as long as she is safe and comes home OK, we will live with it.
One of the things about me is my mind will not let me get too involved with the gifting issue. Betty took care of all the stuff for the kids and all I could do was pick up a little something for her. We are doing an exchange gift tonight, but my thoughts would not have been too popular so she took care of it. I am so lucky to have her in my life! Her attention to details just amazes me everyday. I am still here because of her attention to me while I was at the hospital. I will never forget it even though I did not know it at the time.
I want everyone to have a very Special Merry Christmas and let's all take time to Praise Jesus for being in our life. Feel free to talk to God if you need a shoulder to cry on. It is AMAZING just how help He is EVERY DAY. My love to you all.
