All I want for Christmas is.....

I was thinking that there is nothing physical I want for Christmas. Sure a new computer would be nice, but I have one that works, and when I use it I think of prehistoric times. A nice new outfit is always fun, but after one use, its not new. So what I really want is what I already have. Someone said to me, "you have had a rough year", and yes there have been times I wanted to kick the nearest cow, or scream at the wind, or just plain cry my eyes out till there till the pain goes away. But the reality is, this year has awakened me. When my grandson Paul was born I was so excited, and the 8 days he lived his earthly life, were my most spiritual of my whole life, he taught me just how close Heaven really is. When my cousin Paul died, I was reminded that life is too short not to say those things to people that mean so much to you, his funeral was really beautiful, but did he know I really loved him as a big brother? Going to Africa reminded me that there is injustice everywhere. That the millions of children in the world that are stuck in overcrowded, dirty, and unloved orphanges makes me just so very sad, and also that no matter what I do in this life, it must be good things I do. And finally, when Jami started to get ill, I prayed that the doctors would figure it out, that someone cared enough for this wonderful daughter of mine to help her. I have felt frustrated that I am stuck in Wyoming, a place I truely love, but Im so far from her. But my prayers were answered and they now know she has Lymes disease, a very debilating disease, but one that will again change all our lives for the better. So if you really want to know what I want for Christmas, its not all wrapped up in a pretty box, it isn't freshly fallen snow on my lawn, I just want those in my life to know just how blessed you have made my life. I love you all so much, and mirror words can't fill in the pages of this post. So here's to all of you Happy Holidays, and may your 2010, find you healthy, being a lot more kinder, going slower and doing the things that really matter in life, and mostly keeping your eldest Brother Jesus Christ in your hearts, minds and souls. Luv you all.....
