Taking stock at Christmas time.

In what ways are we different this Christmas than you were a year ago?

My dear father passed away last Friday a little over two months after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. His funeral was this past Monday.

This Christmas is certainly very different from any I have ever known. I’m trying to keep it together for my mom, my brother, my husband and our son. Today was three days, it seems. I prepped Christmas dinner, we did all of our gift shopping in two hours and wrapped thirteen presents in an hour. Tomorrow we’ll make a 4 hour trek to mom’s house through a predicted 6” of new snow.

We are in uncharted territory here, but through God’s grace we will persevere and Christmas will not be forgotten.

God bless all of my fellow FReepers. Hold your loved ones close and give them an extra hug.

Merry Christmas to each and every one of you.

We had less ammo and more patience last Christmas.

And we were one year farther from victory last Christmas.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Well, there have been far more anti-Protestant threads this year than last.
