Tomorrow is a great time to put things off to,the only problem is sometimes tomorrow is forgotten or never comes. Why wait, tell your family and friends how you feel about them. Give the hugs and tell everyone I love you. I have seen to many tomorrows never come because something else comes up,then you think I will get to it tomorrow. Time flys, people change and often the chance is never there . If there is something important on your mind please take care of it today, what if your tomorrow never comes. A friend of mine is really sick and she has been writing letters to her kids , just in case her tomorrow never comes, she put little notes in the he Christmas decorations that are being put up for a year. She is writing to her kids about precious moments coming in there lives. Is there something you want to say to your kids, she ask me why not start a diary for your daughter wedding day. you know thats a great idea, put recipes, ideas, letters of hope and love, so she got me thinking why way to tomorrow! Sounds like they would enjoy It someday when memories are very important, kinda like a hope chest. So start your hope chest today!

So Christmas is gone in a flash and now we are looking at a Nw Year! So what are your Hope, and New Year Resolutions! I want 2009 to be a year of New beginnings. A year of hope and reflection. i am not going to get caught up in the news and the bad things, my New Years Resolution is to have faith and trust and let God take care of things. I want to spend quality time with my kids, in 2 short years they both will be in collage. You can't change the past but you can make the future . This year I have decided to spend more time on making my business stronger . I think that everyone is ready for a better year than last and most will be glad for a fresh start. So make next year your bst and don't worry about things give them to God and trust he will take care of you! 2008 was crazy but I never felt concern, because I know that in God everything will be OK! So what is your New Year Resolution!!!!!!

My kids have ask me a million times this week, what do you want for Christmas. What I want money can't buy! I want our family to make many memories, to enjoy each other over the Christmas week and have fun together. I want tons of happy memories of my family! This year it is our turn to host the family dinner. Between my family and my husbands we expect 24 for dinner. I love the challenge and the excitement of a big family, and my kids are eager to help, so I am getting ready for a crowd. In the middle of it all we are going to have my sons 18th birthday party. Christmas Eve we plan to go to church and celebrate the birth of Jesus. Because jesus is the reason for Christmas. So I don't care about the gifts I look forward to the fun and the time with my family. I wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas! A miracle of Christmas will fill your hearts with comfort and joy!

My son turns 18 tomorrow. It seems like only yesterday he was born. He was a true Christmas miracle born only days before Christmas. Christmas was so crazy, a newborn and Christmas in the same week. He came home on Dec 21st, and was the best Christmas gift my husband and I could have asked for. He only slept 2 hours at a time and had his nights and days mixed up from day one! Everyone flock to see this new born baby, the first grandchild in over 10 years! My mom was beside herself trying to do Christmas and a new grandmother at the same time. Family insisted on seeing the new baby, and It drove my husband crazy, he was so worried someone would come by that had been sick, boy did he screen guest! But this child brought great joy to our family. I remember sitting by Matthew's first Christmas tree rocking a crying baby at 4 am, he stop crying and looked me straight in the eye, I saw innocence and hope in this tiny fussing baby, my mom came in and try her magic and he fell quickly to sleep. We sat and watched this tiny miracle sleep and I really felt like my heart was going to melt. Taking about sleep in heavenly peace, we all rushed to bed before the next cry that usually occurred 2 hours later!! Matt is grown up and will graduate in a few months. Time does fly and memories are precious! Every Christmas I think back of the night Matthew came into our lives, and thanks God for the miracle of my son. The years have gone by so fast and I admit I am sad and happy at the same time. But I thank God for my Christmas Miracle and hope he will one day have a son that will bring great joy to his life. Happy Birthday Matthew!
