Well, I finally checked everybody's blogs today. I had been so busy I didn't have time to check any... I barely made the time to write mine!!
It sounds like everyone had a wonderful Christmas and I have enjoyed reading what you were doing.
I enjoyed the past several days very much!! This Christmas I can just feel the peace. (you know..after I went crazy and then talked to God!) I have enjoyed time to just read my Bible, read a good book and get a couple things done in my regular routine.
As I looked over the Lego and Playmobile pieces that the kids were still playing with on Christmas day and yesterday, I just sat on the couch enjoying the memory of Christmas. It wasn't really the gifts I got (but Jim did a WONDERFUL job with them and with very little help from me), but it was all it represented. I realize that God has given us a great gift... our family still together. It is amazing to me that Christmas of '01 was so close to being our last one together. God has given us so much to be thankful for.
As I was sitting there yesterday, I asked God to help me focus on this time. Of course, all year long I realize what Jesus did for me personally, that God saved our marriage, and has given us so much to be thankful for. I also know that I have to stay focused on Him. Today I am alone. The house is completely quiet. I am enjoying the moments of quiet. It is easy to focus on God at times like this. Why am I tell you all this? I don't know. I realize how quickly I can take my eyes off of our Lord. I guess this is a post to remind myself to remember and just take time to stop, think and be thankful all year long.

What a good reminder. I'm so glad that God gave you this special time to reflect on His goodness in your life.
What a perfect time of the year to love and reflect on the Savior. These are good times.
What a wonderful post, Deb! It's amazing what some peace can do to ones mind! I'm glad you had some time to reflect!!
I am so glad that all of you had such a wonderful together-Christmas. Enjoy these times of family togetherness;as your children grow older (wiser & more confident in themselves--these qualities that you are teaching your children now--they will also growaway--and sometimes go-away--from your "nest." This very moment is the one to savor--the next one will bring a change, ever so subtly!
It is good, Debbie, that you have some time alone too! Good for you! Great for your family!
HAPPYNEWYEAR!!!!!!!!!LOVE&HUGS
