Today is a new day. Tomorrow is going to affect our lives today but only serves to teach us going forward not as a place to get stuck looking back. Here we sit in the very hotel where we were enjoying time with mom less than a year ago. So much has changed since playing cards with her in the lobby and having her slip out of the room undetected. The joy through our sorrow is that Mom's life and death remind us to enjoy each other and spend time together that we can cherish and hold onto.
Today I am thankful for all the family that surrounds me this Christmas and hopeful that each of us truly treasures our time together. Lissa and I are on a cell phone diet so we can be more present with those sitting right beside us. We are encouraging each other and there may be money incentives involved. Bad habits can separate us and that is the last thing we want this week. Together is where we want to spend our time and attention today. So tomorrow we will look back and smile at the shared times we enjoyed together.
In Him,
Joyful

I like the idea of a cell phone diet so we can be more present with those sitting right beside us. Merry Christmas to you.
