Because of Ozzy's love for trains, there was an actual train installed under the tree at my grandparents' house for Christmas Eve. I was brought back to my childhood when my grandparents' house would literally look like its "glowing" at Christmas time. At my age, things have stopped glowing years ago, but I'm glad Ozzy gets that chance to have his "glowy" Christmas. Thank you everybody for making this season special for him. My husband took his vacation leave (because he never takes any), my siblings took us shopping, and friends and family just gave appropriate gifts. I think my Christmas has just started getting "glowy" too.
Or maybe I've grown more appreciative this year. I am thankful for all the clarity I have received from our Lord, and the gift of strength that I personally didn't think I had. I am grateful for our good health. And the promise that God is faithful to us always.
I am praying for much about the same things this year. Nothing new. I pray for wisdom, that as I raise my son, I'll always have the presence of mind to make the right decisions. I pray for my husband's good health and good performance at work. I pray for our financial needs. I also pray for my friends' and families' guidance and help from our Lord always.
