This year seems a little different for me as far as Christmas goes. I have had lots of changes in my life over the last few months and once again Christmas has another meaning to me. I know what Chirstmas is about and cherish that I do but I just have such feelings of joy with all my blessings. It is hard to describe but I'm sure lots of you know what I am trying to say. I just wanted to share a little.

I understand completely how you feel. I know that JESUS is the reason for the season. And for this i'm eternaly grateful. I have so many feelings going on right now. Last year in Nov. I was fighting developing cervical cancer. I'm fine now, praise GOD! In Nov. we were told that my father had 3 months to live. He lived 3 weeks. His 1 year Anni of his death was Yesterday, the 7th. I am so depressed and miss him so much, and yet, i'm gratful that he was set free from his pain. Almost 3 weeks later his sister died on Xmas Day. And yet i'm still grateful. Although i'm grateful i'm still sad. But, I am so blessed and everytime I think about just how blessed I start laughing. For the first time we wil be celebrating Xmas with our son. Everytime I look at him my heart bursts with joy. You could take all of my wordly posessions But as long as I have my family i'm beyond blessed!

In the past year I have personally undergone what I consider HUGE spiritual growth. All the Christmas songs and hymns that I have known since I was a child have taken on such a deeper meaning to me now, that it makes my spirit tremble. How awe inspiring it is, that so many hundreds of years ago the Holy Spirit gave the words and music to someone to write these beautiful songs that we still sing today.
