"Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men"

Christmas Day at our house was joyful.   Talking to all of our children and grandchildren either in person or on face time brought us all the joy we needed!  Happy ! Happy!  Love them so very much!  In addition to that,  I have never experienced this much "good will" in all my life.  You people are incredible, Christ-like, and full of charity!  The words "good will" have taken on new and deeper meaning to me.  I will never again think of those words in a light context.  The cards, visits, treats, things left of the door step....it goes on and on.  A friend from my work place wanted to drop by a "little something".   She showed up with a huge beautifully wrapped box.  :)  I had't expected that at all.   Should I open it or save if for Christmas?  She suggested I wait to open it.  Dell and I had chosen this year not to exchange gifts.  We draw names with our kids so there really wasn't anything under the tree for us to open.  We were feeling ok with that.  I put her large beautifully wrapped box under the tree and it waited there for Christmas morning .   Another beautiful hug!  By that I mean an afghan!  I love it Theresa!  As if that was not enough the box contained a collection from almost 20 or so co-workers.  It made me so emotional that it took me hours before I could look at that gift and read the kind words from so many.  Amazing people.  I love and thank you!

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, pray unto the Father with all the energy of heart, that ye may be filled with this love, which he hath bestowed upon all who are true followers of his Son, Jesus Christ; that ye may become the sons of God; that when he shall appear we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is; that we may have this hope; that we may be purified even as he is pure. Amen.
