New Year

I think my resolution this year will be to try as hard as I can to keep the blog as current as possible. --- Another Christmas has come and gone.  What a blessing for all of us to be together at several times during the season.
  Lately, I have been thinking about how mean, selfish and over saturated this world has become.  We have seen news reports of people having "breakdowns" because of the election...need "safe places" and therapy animals because not everyone agrees with everyone on how life should be lived. I also know that most of this is over exaggerated by the news agencies. But that being said, sometimes things happen in life that make you realized how blessed you really are. One of those things happened over the Holidays to my cousins daughter. Below is the link to her story.   Read it.  And the next time you "feel" like life is unfair to you because others don't agree with you, or someone hurt your feelings and you feel the need for a "safe place"...remember that this is true heartache..not some social or political hot topic that has hurt your feelings...this is real life...

My prayer for my family is that we realize how blessed we are to have each other and thank God every day for the wonderful lives He has given us.
