This school year has flown by, but the last two weeks before Christmas break have just dragged on and on. I am now ready for the break. Holidays now are a bit bittersweet. I enjoy the time as a family that we have together, but mom and dad have aged much in the last year and I know that this Christmas could be the last one we have together, or at least where we can enjoy each other.
All of our other family is now scattered hither and yon, and soon to be even more scattered. All of them have their own family now and it is fun to hear about their experiences with their kids, but we miss them and miss seeing the kids grow up.I guess that is just the way it goes. Life gets in the way sometime.I get more reflective now. I realize now more than ever the gift of God's love to us. The blessings I have enjoyed throughout many years, are now just memories of the goodness of the Lord.
Still, the house is decorated, the lights are up and we are singing Christmas carols and there are more memories yet to be made.
