Holiday Thoughts

I keep thinking I am just not in the holiday spirit this year. I just don't have the initiative to search for gifts and shop sales. Don't wanna "overdeck" the halls. I thought I was in a funk. But then it became clear to me. I am completely in the holiday spirit this year....I am so thankful for my life and what I have in it. I am so happy with my family and our health. Times are a little hard for us financially but other than that we are blessed. If only that stinking house would sell. But God has a plan for us, and harm is not part of it. I just know in my heart that we are fine. Better than fine. I have complete faith that everything will work out according to his plan. In the meantime, I thank God for the opportunity to spend the holiday with whoever. If it's just me, Scott and the kids for Thanksgiving, then so be it. It will be the five of us, happy and healthy together in a house. And as for Christmas, all those decorations in the attic in Weatherford can wait til next year. For now we have one tree, which by the way is not the prettiest tree since I let the girls do the decorating. We don't have a tree in every room and stockings hung by the fireplace. We don't have lights outside and tons of gifts under the tree. But we have each other and a family that loves us and more importantly, a God who loves us. So Happy Thanksgiving to all of you...and thanks for being a part of our lives!
