Counting Blessings
Today I have been feeling sorry for myself. I've come to the conclusion that I will be alone on Christmas. I had wanted to go to Arizona, but the closer it gets to the 25th the more hope I lose that the check I expect is coming in time.
However, I have also been thinking how lucky I am to have a family that I want to spend the holiday with. I am thankful for a son who makes me proud by trying to do the right things. I have a dog that snuggles with me and seems to know when I am upset. I belong to a church that teaches truth and light. I know that Christ lives and eases burdens. I know prayers are heard and answered. Even though the answers are not what I want, they are answered.
So-Here's hoping that everyone has a Merry Christmas and remembers the reason we celebrate the holiday.
