Dec 20 - Blessings

Write about something your feel incredibly blessed or grateful for.

If you're a parent, how have the holidays changed since you've

had children?  Do you celebrate differently now?

The thing I feel the most blessed to have is my family!  I cherish my children, each of them brings something very different and special to my life.  I cherish my husband, Jeremy is a great man and a super dad.  He does a ton around here to help out and the kids just adore him...what more could a woman ask for?

I feel blessed to have my parents live so close.  I feel blessed to have my in-laws live so close.  I feel blessed to own my own home.  I feel blessed to be part of a church family that I love.  I feel blessed to not have to worry about having presents under our tree. 

I feel blessed to live in a community where I can take my kids to a free afternoon movie and to see Santa Claus.  I feel blessed to be able to the have the chance to win Chamber Bucks {I HOPE I DO!}.  We are headed out in about an hour to watch "Santa Buddies" at the Chief Theater and then to have Santa bring us candy, to sit and tell him what we would like and to wait and see if your name gets drawn out of the box for the Chamber prizes. 

It promises to be a entertaining afternoon!

"Christmas is the gentlest, loveliest festival of the revolving year - and yet,

for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong authority."
