This has been an unusually busy Christmas season for our family. We have been so blessed. We had two amazing "Christmas Miracles" that literally saved our Christmas. Through the generosity of others we were able to give our children gifts this year. Because of the medical issues we had earlier in the year and a great deal of time where both my husband and I were out of work we didn't see any way to buy gifts this year. We had decided that the gifts our children would get from the grandparents would just have to be enough. Then a few weeks before Christmas we received very unexpected envelopes with the money we needed to get gifts for the kids and take Craig out to dinner for his birthday. So... To our Christmas Angels, Thank you!

During the Christmas break I finished a quilt. I can't show it to you yet (shhhh it's a gift). But I will post pictures soon!
I received this wonderful thought in an email and thought I would share it with you!
A man decided that he would change the world.
But, he wasn’t successful.
So he decided to change the country.
But, he wasn’t successful.
So he decided to change his community.
But, he wasn’t successful.
So he decided to change his street.
But, be wasn’t successful.
So he decided to change his family.
But, he wasn’t successful.
So he decided to change himself.
AND HE WAS SUCCESSFUL.
AND HIS FAMILY CHANGED AND THEY AFFECTED THEIR STREET.
AND THE PEOPLE ON THE STREET AFFECTED THEIR COMMUNITY.
AND THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY AFFECTED THEIR COUNTRY.
AND THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY AFFECTED THE WORLD.
