Since there is a son-in-law and a girlfriend... we decided to shake things up and did our Christmas on Christmas Eve. It was an amazing evening with our children Kara and Tom (son-in-law), Jay, David and his girlfriend Chelsea.
After appetizers we opened gifts then shared a wonderful meal with the main dish cooked by Brian - prime rib. Before having birthday cake for Jesus we played the game Fact or Crap - had a hilarious time.
I anticipated waking up sad with no presents - but I am not. I feel very content. Perhaps I am finally understanding the words of Paul - "I have learned in all things to be content."
2009 was a rough year. This was a great way to end it. We are blessed to have children who are making good decisions and contributing to the world. We truly enjoy spending time with them. 2010 is going to be a good year.
It is an honor, a privilege and a blessing to follow Jesus - wherever He leads us. We are so excited to see how God will work in and through our lives.
God is so good.
