And God Bless Us, Every One...

As I sit here with my family, waiting to leave for Christmas Eve services, I would like to wish a beautiful holiday season to all who read this. I hope this has been a good year for you and that, despite the crummy economy and all of the reasons that we have to feel down, that you find hope and beauty all around you. It isn't about the bank balance, its about the love that you feel in your heart. Your home can be beautiful, whether you have a big budget, or none at all. It's about the creativity that resides in all of us. Its about the friends and loved ones that we surround ourselves with. And its about the higher power that resides deep in our soul, no matter what name you call that higher power. From my home to yours, I wish you a season of peace, hope, and joy. Merry Christmas...and God bless us, every one.
