It was Christmas Again!

    With four of our children in California and one in Florida, our prospects for Christmas seemed lackluster until the Florida clan decided to come to North Carolina for the holiday. We know they are all busy, they have lives to live and it is not easy to drop everything and travel for a few days. If they only knew how much it meant to us, it might have made them feel better about it. It made our Christmas.
   Christmas through the eyes of a child is a wondrous thing to behold. Watching that wondrous thing is a sight for old eyes to treasure. I hope that you had the pure, unadulterated pleasure that we experienced on this wonderful holiday. We were able to distance ourselves from the daily grind and  focus on what is really important. We laughed at the antics of a precious child and our hearts glowed with the joy of sharing the wonder. Having the little guy around made it feel like Christmas again.
   Wishing all a happy new year and much joy to accompany the trials and struggles that we will experience over the coming year. It is our wish, from the bottom of our hearts, that God will bless you all.
