Happiness is a choice!

That is why “He” was born

 

What if there were things you could never take back?

pain, hate, words, decisions, mistakes,

A world where every heartache lasts forever?

Where every wound never healed?

No auto correct, no back space, no delete?

A world where man drifts farther and farther from happiness, from peace, from God?

That is what the world would be like without a Savior.

Thankfully that world doesn’t exist. Because one quiet night, long ago, in a tiny town, a child was born.

Born to change all hearts and all good byes, fix all mistakes.

Born to overcome all anguish, regret, depression, fear.

He understands you, he heals us,

He can bridge the gap between God and man and bring us home if we let him.

If we love Him

That’s why we celebrate

That’s why we sing

And That’s why He was born

These men are some of my favorite people. We enjoyed hot coco and cookies while we watched and listened to the grandchildren play their violins.

I love Christmas time and Nativity Scenes are something I have always loved and collected. This trip was quite a long ride in the car for big boys. People were irritated with one another, there were some crude remarks and some wrestling, but we will later remember the joy of each other and this memory. This day, Sunday, Dec. 20,2015, marked the 3 year anniversary of Tex’s death. Being with my boys and their rowdiness  brings me joy. These boys will grow up to be amazing men. I love them and look forward to their futures. It will be bright, because they have parents who love them and a tiny baby in a manger.
