My family was back in Indiana.
So my thoughts were more on them than these blogs messages.
They're back now, so I can get back to normal.
We're a few days from Christmas, a time that should be more about family and giving, not so much as material things but LOVE to family and all mankind.
Christmas should be more than just one day that most expect a gift or gifts.
We should give the gift of LOVE all through the year.
2009, will see a new President, one that I vote for, because he was saying things that I wanted to hear.
I hope that by the end of 2009, Iraq will be just a word to describe a country, not a war.
Some have given more than others, some have given their alls, so Iraq might be better for the Iraqi's.
I would hate to believe that all this was about OIL.
With that said. . .
May the joys of childhood be yours this holiday season.
May the Simple Pleasures of the Season be yours.
Wishing you the Christmas of your dreams....
May the Love, Peace, and Joy of Christmas be yours always.
Love came down on Christmas Day
So many years ago and brought the greatest happiness,
the world would ever know...
Peace came down on Christmas Day to fill the hearts of men
With all the sweet tranquility each Christmas brings again...
Joy came down on Christmas Day as angels came to earth
Heralding the miracle of our Messiah's birth.
A Christmas Prayer
Loving Father, help us remember the birth of Jesus,
that we may share in the song of the angels, the gladness
of the shepherds, and the worship of the wise men.
Let kindness come with every gift, and good
desires with every greeting. Deliver us from evil
by the blessings which Christ brings, and teach
us to be merry with clear hearts.Amen

It must be forged, tested and used.
It must be passed down.
And woven into the very fabric of our souls.
Until it becomes our nature."
