The Very Best Gift!

How was your Christmas this year? Did you get everything you put on your wish list? Did you get to spend the day with family and friends? I hope so! I truly do.

Kathy over at McMoments and Memories  gave her readers permission the enjoy Christmas to the fullest-- sans any guilt, and I did just that. Sweet Guy and I spent the most of the day at Steph's house, along with Kate, a few friends, and my son-in-laws parents. What a wonderful time of food, fun and laughter we had! I'd like to say how much I love and appreciate my son-in-law's parents, and how thankful I am for all the good times we have shared together with our children. How blessed we all are and what a lucky grandson we have!

Sweet Guy, Kate and I had started the day with the usual Kenny G, cinnamon rolls and coffee while we opened our gifts- a tradition we started many moons ago. For three days before Christmas I got to puzzle over a wrapped box that looked just the right size to hold a helmet...and Lo and Behold it did! It's not girlie with pink or flowers on it, but it's not all manly with racing stripes and flames either, it's a beautiful smoke grey, full faced helmet that you can pull the front part up when your going slow or parked, with a compass on the side and a clock that.... Yeah, yeah, I'm like a kid in a candy store about it, I know. It's just that I've wanted one for soooo long. Good things come to those that wait, but waiting can be hard. All I know is...Santa must not have checked his list more than once. lol Lucky for me!

Now all this talk of wonderful presents is nice. But even though I really like my new helmet, it's wasn't the show stopping gift of the year. No, the very best gift I received this year was my husband sitting right next to me in church on Christmas morning! Amazing! And I believe it won't be long before that becomes an every service happening! Thank you to all that are praying for him. I can't begin to tell you what it means to me to have your love and support!

And so, another Christmas has come and gone, leaving behind it's warm glow of peace and good cheer,but most of all... hope!

Blessings :-}
