Christmas was a good day. A time of family, fellowship, food and food and more food. There was a distinct sadness as we prepared to open gifts. Dad normally would open his Bible to Luke 2 and read the story of Christ's birth, give a small devotional and prayer. This year, we all sat for a moment and waited... wondering if he would at least try. But he had a difficult day on Christmas and was unable to fill his usual role. Mom tried to fill the gap with words of love and thanks for the family... but the absence of normalcy was evident. We are praying and hoping for a new year... a blessed year.
Gifts were still abundant, despite the lack of funds everyone has been experiencing. But the focus was not on that but more on the gift of God, the love of family and the precious time we have together... and of coarse the food. *smile*All in all, it was a blessed day.
