With Christmas just a few short days away, I find myself wishing for a miracle this year, you see I realize now just how much of our lives are wasted on worries of such small in sequential things, we truly are a fickle human race.
We are still walking through a valley friends, unsure if Declan’s surgery was successful and trying to prepare ourselves for what tomorrow may hold. I have to constantly remind myself that it is in this “moment” that we hover and when I am fully present that is when I experience loves simple joys.
Joys of fingers and toes, love and laughter, friendship and a hope for miracles.
I waver from days filled with joy and optimism to ones filled with tears and a sorrow so thick I feel like I am in quick sand. This trial with Declan’s health has stretched me in ways I never knew I could handle.
So please keep us in your prayers this beautiful Christmas season, prayers of health and happiness peace and joy. Joy that is plain, joy that is simple, joy in forgiveness.
May you all have the simple joy I seek this Christmas
~with love
Hi Melissa and Tim, you are still always in my prayers, which I admit have become much more frequent these days. What a gorgeous photo. In times of uncertainty or worry, take it out, and behold it. All you need is right there. So beautiful. I bought something for the kids yet I have not mailed it yet, so I will try to get it out to you guys soon. We have everyone here on Christmas Eve from about 3 onwards. Keep your Skype on when you are at home and we will try to have a nice long chat with you guys. What time will you be at church? Love to you and Tim, Sidney and Declan. I would love to talk to you soon, so let me know when it’s a good time to call. I go to Mexico for m sisters wedding on December 26 until January 4.
