I have to admit I have not had much Christmas spirit this year. Some difficult family issues and just plain old missing my mom have made me kind of depressed. My mom always made holiday's, birthday's, well every special day, very special. She had a way of doing small things, buying lots of gifts that made those days extra special. Now, it is my turn to do that for my kids. I had a wake-up call last night that set me on a better course for enjoying the day. I was feeling sorry for myself and doing the old poor me, I am so lonely bit when I realized that I was given a huge gift in my husband and three kids! I determined then to focus on what I had and not what I did not have.
We had a relaxing morning, playing with new toys, reading, basically being in our pj's until 10 or so. Then I began cooking. The meal went really well! I have struggled in the past to time everything so that when we sit down it is all hot and cooked. I also like to try new things and if they don't work out we are all out of luck. This year I opened a lot of cans and it all tasted great. Whew! We had a good couple of hours to play games and enjoy eachother.
Hope you had a Christmas filled with JOY! Jesus Lord at thy birth!

I miss your mom too. Thanks for the Christmas email. I love to read blogs...so I just added you to my favorites. We have a website that isn't updated much, but take a look if you find a minute. www.therymans.com
I'm praising God for His faithfulness and for the hope we can have in Him even as I think of you and continue to pray for all of our extended family. Love you,
