The season of family and joy is here. With all my years.....I have found that the younger generation has a different look on life. They seem to think that life is all about what they can have, material thing they can buy , and how much money they have.
To me family is the meaning of love. I dont mean what you will get from them, what can they do for me, or how much will you gain. The acts of love, kindness and enjoyment of doing for others , or giving is what love is all about. I would drop anything in my life to give or do for my family. If a person does something for others only looking into the furture as to how they will gain, that is not love. This is the time of our Christ........how would he look at people today............It seems that this age is all about "me"...........what can I have, or what will I gain. How can someone like this feel they are a child of Christ. I just dont believe Christ intent was on what he would gain, but on how and what could he do for others.
People are so transparent......trying to live what they feel is a Christain life, but do they live a CHRIST like life. No they are selfish.
You family is all you have, give of yourself and time. Spend time with them , help them , just be there.
The time will come when you will look back and have regrets...........those gift, material things, money .............that stuff is nothing. Take the time to lean a hand..........be there....love.....
Having the best of everything is having love, family and happiness.
I just wish I had the chance to go the store for my mother again or run the vacuum for my Daddy again. You cant take things with you ........but regrets last forever.
Just remember that your actions say alot. Just saying you love your family and how important they are........all that doesnt prove anything. You have to be there, stand for something. Dont be fake , be true to your word.
Merry CHRISTmas.............

We are 9 days into the month of December. Christmas will be here before we know it. I am looking forward to the holidays this year. First time in about 9 years. Im so excited to get to see Sydney when she wakes to here Santa stuff. Oh yea.........my camera and recorder will be getting a work out that day. Many memories for Gammie.....That little girl make it all worth it for me. Give me those days back of when my boys were her age, and how excited I got to see their little faces.
Will be wonderful to get to be with Ben and Chris also. I love my boys ........and Im so very proud of them and the men they have become.
Hope it snows somewhere close by during the holiday, if so Im going. Want to make a snow angel and a snowman.
Plan to see as much of my family as I can during the holidays, and spend time with John when he isnt busy with his family.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL. From my family to yours.

Today, Im the ripe old age of 59........had a good day. Johns sister, Betty Jane, made me a birthday cake this morning , we all got together and ate cake before 9 this morning.....They had cards and presents for me. Was very nice and I was surprised. Then, Chris and Becky came home and took me out to eat. Ben forgot it was my birthday. OH WEll....
Tomorrow Ill go up for another Thanksgiving meal at Mrs. Smith house. Monday Ill go back on my diet , boy do I need it.
This coming week will only be a 4 day week at school. The state MPSA meeting is Friday so school will be out. Basketball is also in full swing. I have to work a game Thursday night.
It has been a nice holiday I just hate to see it end so soon. Life goes on and so does school. Have to get back in the groove for a few weeks til Christmas.
