Another Holiday Has Past

Well, it has happened again! Another Christmas has passed me by and soon another year will be complete. It seems so unreal to me how fast the time passes. Getting older reveals the important things in life and reminds me of where my focus should be. I am fortunate that I was able to spend the holidays with my family. My grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles, brothers, cousins, husband and kids were all healthy enough to be together to celebrate the holidays as a family. Although it is difficult to see loved ones grow old, I will always cherish the time I get to spend with them.  It is also strange to see your life as a child reflected in the younger family members. As I have gotten older, the holidays have become less about opening presents and more about the fellowship of family. The holidays are about being together and celebrating God's great gift he gave to the world. Without Him there would be no love within families, no compassion for others and no Christmas season. I hope you all had an amazing time with friends and family. I also hope that God blesses all of you as much as he has blessed me! Merry Christmas!
