Its Christmas morning…but still quiet in the house at 4am.
I’m sitting here in the kitchen watching it snow and blow outside, and thinking about how wonderful things are right now….
- I have a house full of family. Most of the kids are here (Adam and Sarah will try to come over later this morning);
- Everyone has jobs, and although money is tight for some of the kids, they are getting through;
- I have parents and siblings who live close by, and take an active interest in our family;
- We have great friends here in Tonganoxie that we share with and truly love;
- I have a son who is serving our country in the Air Force…loves it…and has turned his life around. And he is home for the holidays;
- I have another son who is working towards getting into the Air Force, and taking care of his family;
- I have two daughters that are doing very well in school, are well adjusted, and participate in a ton of extra-curricular activities;
- One of girls, at twelve years of age, still believes that you put out milk and cookies for Santa;
- I have a beautiful granddaughter that is going to be four years old this year…and she forces me to see life through the eyes of child;
- I have a wonderful wife who love me unconditionally and makes my life whole;
- And now I’m going to have a white Christmas….
See…I’m not hard to buy for at all!
Have a very safe, warm, and Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
