We are sooo blessed this Christmas with so much to be thankful for :) We were surprised by someone who loves our family, they left oodles of gifts at our door....it was so neat to see the boys excitement.
Tim had to work doubles on Christmas day so he didnt make it home until around 11pm. The boys waited all day for dad to come home.... it was torchure I think for the boys to see all the gifts under the tree, but they did enjoy the day as well. They felt very loved.
After all the gifts under the tree were opened and love was expressed, one last gift that was no under the tree was brought out. Tim gave me his choir binder and asked me to sing a song to close out our Christmas night.... I sat at the fireplace and opened the binder to sing the song.....
As I opened the binder, I didnt see a song, instead, I saw a plane ticket from Southwest!!!! The date and destination were a complete shock and joy!!!! I am going to Lubbock this afternoon for 10 days!!!! I will get to meet my father and my brother and younger sister. I have prayed and prayed for this day and now it is happening.
Heavenly Father has truly poured out His blessings upon us and I am forever grateful :)
I will be able to close out 2009 with my new found family and bring in 2010 with them....What better way to end and begin the year than with those you love.
I love all of my family and am so happy to have been able to see most of them in the last week during this Christmas season. May all who read this feel the spirit burning in your hearts. Remember the reason for the season and keep it burning bright all year long!!!!
