As the last hours of Christmas roll past us, I hope I am not too late to say to everyone reading this blog that I sincerely hope you all had a wonderful, blessed and happy Christmas. I hope your family and friends were close, your food abundant and your worries and cares a million miles away. I hope that the age-old remembrance of the coming of the Savior into the world in the poorest and most humble of garbs while bringing the greatest message of mercy and joy ever known wasn't forgotten or neglected amidst the hurry and tumble of modern Yule-tide commercialism.
My day wasn't without its trials... but I spent time with a loving family, good friends, and even managed to earn a few dollars in the mix. I watched my children open their gifts, play with the toys and games, and I even watched them remember that the holiday is about a baby's birthday... not about who got what they wanted and who didn't.
I go to bed tonight thanking my Lord and my God for all the gifts he has given me... my children and wife, my parents and siblings, my home and my job, the good times and the bad times... and I will say a prayer tonight that all of YOU are taken care of as lovingly as He has taken care of us.
Merry Christmas to all... and to all, a good night.
