Sitting here this morning and envious of all of you with little children in the house The days of Hunter getting up at 4:00am to open presents are long gone. Watching Santa on the Norad Santa Tracker have passed as well. The mess, the dog tearing up the wrapping paper all the joys of Christmas with children in the house.
I hope you are all as grateful as I am for the blessing God bestowed upon us when Christ was born on Christmas day. It is so tough to keep this in mind throughout the rest of the year, isn't it? Maybe if we all could remember this from time to time throughout the year, some of our challenges may not seem so tough
God Bless you all,
Steve
