Christmas

Well another year has come and gone and hasn't it been a great year. Sure we have all had our share of disappointment and stress but God has seen us through each trial and Joy. Tonight as I sit here listening to Evan Jarod and ceylum telling stories to each other, I am reminded of simpler times in our lives. The times we listened outside your bedroom doors and heard the conversations you had with each other. You were always so close in your hearts and we pray you never lose that love or ccmpassion, you have, for each other.
Tonight I told the boys the story of the three little pigs. Then when I left and told them to go to sleep I hear that story being told again, Evan was telling it then came jarods turn. It was so cute. Finally Ceylum told his story. I heard weird huffing and puffing coming from that room. LOL Now the house is so quiet they are sound asleep knowing Mamaw is here watching over them. NO big bad wolf can get past her.
Our Christmas was a little sad this year, with Sheri and Mike gone, Seems as if every year is now bringing changes in our lives. Health issues are more common, Moves are happening in your lives and all things good or bad or indifferent are happening to each of you. Each decision you have made in your lives in the past have affected your future. Each little decison we make, affects how the outcome of the next day, week, year, lifetime will come out. Think good ones, look at the decisions you wish you had not made and learn from them. After all they may not have been wrong. We look back now, in the autumn of our lives, and see our mistakes, but we have enjoyed our lives, We had massive love for each other and you children. We adore all our grandchildren, we have nothing to be ashamed of or have to go before our God and explain. We know we made mistakes, but in retrospect we seem to have done a fair job raisin each of you.
We are proud of your generosity and kindness. We tried to teach each of you independent thinking, to not follow the croud, make your own choices and make good ones. If not then live with the consequences with no regrets, Regrets can make a big dent in your happiness.
So with that we hope each of you begin the new year with renewed hope and compassion,
