Sorry for such a long period of radio silence here. To say that the last month was c-r-a-z-y would be a slight understatement. Good crazy, not so great crazy, plain crazy crazy - it was all of it for this family of three this past holiday season.
Let me just start by saying that Santa and Mrs. Claus are a pair of big dummies. They saw fit to bring our darling girl a puppy. A sweet puppy. Our Caity girl was thrilled. But let's face it - winter is not the prime time to housebreak a pup. Nor is the Christmas season the opportune time to have to keep an eagle eye out for puddles and piles. Geez Louise....what were those two thinking?!
I got caught up in to-do lists and schedules and everything else that the world says the holidays are about. Not my personal best celebration of my Lord and Savior 's birthday. Thankfully He knew all my failures before I have even done them and chose to save me anyway. I would surely be upset if someone I loved had done my birthday the way I did this year.
So thankful He is merciful and fully understands this frail woman who is prone to chase after the wind.
We were blessed with the opportunity to watch two sweet young people make their marriage covenant as well, surrounded by friends and family. It is amazing to watch something you truly feel God has set up from before time began happen in front of you. These two special people have a beautiful life ahead of them. It's going to be a pleasure to watch it and be there with them.
That brings us to the new year. My hubs doesn't understand all the hubbub about resolutions. He says if you can't make up your mind to do it any other day of the year, what are you getting all excited about now. And, to a certain extent, he is right. The stuff worth doing shouldn't have to wait for a special day to kick off. But, I do like New Year's.
I buy in to the "fresh start" business. I make enough mistakes to need to feel like the slate here on earth has been wiped clean. So, by the grace of God, my New Year's resolution is to have a year more full of Him than ever before.
Here's to wishing us all success on that.
