As Christmases go this one has to rank as one of the best. I spent it only with those that are closest to me and peace reigned through the whole thing. There were the normal sibling rivalry kinds of things but that happens every day. The Lord blessed me with being able to have all the kids home for Christams and while they were not able to be there at the same time, they were here and that is all that mattered.
I spent a couple of days with a dear friend and her kids and I felt very comfortable with everything that happened. I had fun with the kids and go to watch them open their gifts. I even got the best gift of all, I was able to have a civil conversation with my brother and I was not only able to wish him a Merry Christmas but also a Happy Birthday as well.
It was a small step and I am hoping that it is one that will lead to more conversations in the coming months and years. Everything I could have dreamed of having received for Christmas I did receive. Thank you God for blessing me with so much. In the last few weeks I chose to re-evaluate my life and my priorities and I was unsure of what was going to happen. If the events of the last few day is any indication I know without a doubt that I ahve made some very wise choices and that the new direction my life is headed will be filled with happiness and joy. Merry Christmas to you all and God Bless, I love you all.
