BLOG your BLESSING 12-28-08
Wow! Almost another year has past. I have had so many blessings this year–some I have told you about and others I have not, because they were not to be discussed before the world.
I was hoping to tell you that DGS#1 had visited today, but due to mechanical problems, he could not come. He did call to let us know that he would not be able to come and said that as soon as he got his vehicle repaired he would see us.
I had a most enjoyable family gathering yesterday with my daughters and their families. Only DGS#1 and DGD#1 were missing.
It was so nice having almost everyone here. The meal was prepared with time to spare. Usually I am at my wits end when they get here because this or that has gone wrong. Yesterday everything just fell into place at the right time.
I hope to share many more family gatherings with them as family is or should be the biggest or most important blessing that we have on this earth.
You are so right about family! It’s so important for siblings to put by their grievances with each other and all that nonsense to honor their parents. (I speak from my family history.) So important for each of us to realize that we’re all doing the best we can–even when we mess up–and to love and honor each other. God bless, friend. Happy New Year.

I think this was the best Christmas we have had in years. Everyone just seemed happy to be together.
I really enjoy being with family whatever the occasion.
