Jesus is the reason for the season!
This is the time of the year that we especially count our blessings and our many friends and family are among them. We are in the Keys celebrating Christmas with my son Michael. This is only the second time Michael has been here and the first time in many years that we have spent Christmas together in the same house!!! This is a reason to celebrate.
No, you haven't been taken off our Christmas card list!!! We did not send out any Christmas cards this year. I am so sorry, but time just didn't allow it this year; or maybe it was that my organizational skills are lacking somewhat this year. I will resume Christmas cards next year.
2009 has been a busy one - so busy in fact, you can see that I also didn't update our blog since May. Oops, I will get the blog caught up soon.
Eddie, Cain and I would like to wish everyone a very
Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year.
May you be blessed with good health and peace of mind and
much happiness this coming year.
Our friends, Rick and Linda, sent us this in their Christmas card and we would like to share it with all who visit our blog:
Christmas Card List
Eddie and I have a list of folks...all written in a book...
And every year at Christmas time, we go and take a look,
And every year at Christmas time, we go and take a look,
And that is when we realize...these names are all a part
Not of the book they're written in...but of our very heart!
For each name.......stands for someone......
Whose path....touched ours....and then....
Left there a print of friendship...that we want to touch again.
And while it sounds fantastic for us to make this claim...
We really feel we are composed..of each..remembered name!
And while you may not be ..aware of..our special link...
Just meeting you has shaped our lives...
Much more...than you can think!
For once you've met somebody...the years cannot erase,
The memory of a pleasant word..or..a friendly face.
So never think our Christmas cards..are just...a mere routine....
Of names upon a Christmas list...forgotten...in between.
For when we send a Christmas card that is addressed to you....
it's because you're on the list of folks...we're indebted to!
This list...is not a total...of many folks we have met,
You happen to be someone...we prefer NOT to forget!!
And whether Eddie and I have known you, for many years or few...
In some way you have had a part...in shaping things we do.
So every year...when Christmas comes...we realize anew
ONE OF THE GREATEST GIFTS that life....can give....is...
MEETING FOLKS LIKE YOU!!!
