This will be my last blog post before Christmas since I have armies of family members gathering in the next few days. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone and all the joyous reunions, conversations, meals, laughter that ensue.

There will be lots of cooking, a few crafts, church services, gift exchange, and feasting.

But most of all there will be the joy of seeing so many family members together and being reminded of the love we share.

I hope that all of you can experience some of the same this holiday season.
