This will be brief and to the point because I know that this is a busy time that will hopefully be spent celebrating the life of Jesus Christ and celebrating love as you spend time with family, friends and loved ones. Here it is approaching noon on Christmas Eve, and I have become my mother-I will be in the stores trying to finish last minute shopping! It is also my baby sister's birthday, so I am finishing up birthday shopping as well. This part of the year has just been so hectic and it took me some time for the holiday spirit to kick in, but it is in high gear now as I concentrate on the things that count most-the desire to present material things to my loved ones came afterward and I am so blessed and thankful to be in a position to do so with an open heart.
Before I wish you all a wonderful holiday season, I have some great news to share, which goes back to my last post about keeping the faith and not letting worry enter your mind. During my mom's visit last Monday she told me that she found out that the corrections facility that she had just began assisting in packing up for its closure will not be having new arrivals from another state out east, which means she will have her job a while longer. She also shared that she would begin a new internship this week that worked around her work hours so she could earn the credits she needs toward earning her Master's degree in counseling. All of this, by the way, was told to me in a matter-of-fact manner like, "Oh, and by the way...!" That is my mother though, and I am so happy for these blessings that have come to her. God always knows how to work, and at the right time. On that note, it is my time to close this by saying Merry Christmas to you and yours, stay safe, and be blessed...until next time. By the way, I decided to add a picture of my baby cousin and I; she lives in Muskegon so I do not see her as often as I like but I love this picture of us from my visit just weeks ago!
