I love this picture. Two of my best friends. My bestest friend-my husband, Christian-who brings joy and light into my life, always. Even if I am in my darkest dark. And my precious friend Dawn, who lives a life for others-full of sweet kindness, love, respect always for the other. She is walking light of love. With them at once-I am blessed overly!!!!
This CHRISTmas was just amazing. It was one that was quaint, stress-free, full of love, forgiveness, joy, and thrill of the coming New Year. This year sure had its bumps-and the way we were handling them was out of control for some time. Jesus got us back IN control-and we are blessed to be blessed with such love for one another-that we love to pour onto others.
We were double blessed. We had my brother back in our home, thrilled to see us all-loving our heart forgive in hard times and give second chances. He is working hard at his new awesome job-and just gracious we all our a family that help one another out-in LOVE. That is our favorite thing.
Then we were blessed again with our precious friend, past neighbor Dawn, back in Chandler, had her and her daughter Annaka, stay at our house due to being snowed into our new city of Philadelphia. So, even though she was going to make a quick trip to England--she spent that large price to kick it with us in Philly!!! All in all it was totally worth it. We both spent crazy money buying each other and our girls gifts--from missing each other soooo much since I have left. She is one strong willed amazing friend!!! She helped me out in all my crazy seizure attacks. Such a heart!!!
Here is the gift of Christmas from my husband; typed in a beautiful red frame with snowflake stickers....does a different one every Christmas; types....
Our 2010 Family Christmas Prayer
Early this year we thought healthy perfection was in the cards,
Not fantasy, existing only in our deepest hopes.
We moved to get a new start but excitement was followed by confusion and pain.
When Lord we asked, will health be?
In prison, prison of mind, pain and location
Did we make the right decisions for health and for our future?
We begged and waited with bated breath
At times our hopes grew dim, our souls became weary, our desires became dull.
But when we thought we could go no lower and confusion ran amuck,
Suddenly appeared light which issued great intellect and understanding
A light from a divine source. That source being You, Lord.
You gave us peace and understanding that perfection is not the goal
quality life and family was a reality still possible
You sent us Your precious love, love which we hold so dear to our heart.
The sunset and dusks light on a pennsylvania night
The glow of the sunrise on the park at daybreak
The color of the trees, the coolness of the snow
The laughter we hear from Tory aglow
The whisper of peace and letting go
You're our yesterdays memories
Today's reason to live and love
Tomorrow's dreams of the future
All the love we have to give
You are our beginning and our end
All we have in visions sight
Nothing has ever felt this good or this right
So take our hand, walk beside us each day
As we live our lives together with You by our side.
We trust You have our lives in the palm of Your hand.
Happy Birthday Jesus. You are our Everything.
