so blessed this holiday

Hello all!! I honestly could not begin to tell you how blessed I feel this holiday season. My family was together and we were graced with the presence of my mom's youngest brother and his two boys that live in Texas. They actually moved back here the week before Christmas and have moved in with my parents. While life at my parents is a bit chaotic with another adult and two teenage boys living there, along with three small (and very loud dogs)... we are still so blessed that they have moved home to be near family. My uncle is in the military and they have had the opportunity to see and experience many different things in their many moves, it is good to know that they will now be in a stable environment during their toughest teenage years. Life couldnt be better as far as Im concerned. Santa was very good to me this year at christmas! I received a new Flat screen HD TV, a new photography camera, and the Wii Sport!! I consider myself very fortunate and could not thank God enough for the blessings He has bestowed on me this season. But more importantly, seeing how blessed I am reminds of the real meaning for Christmas. I'm so thankful for a loving, forgiving, and astonishing God that sent His beautiful Son to die for my sins... to die for all the things that I do everyday that hurt and disappoint Him. But He loves me no matter what I do. And that is the best Christmas blessing of all: To celebrate the birth of Jesus and the sacrifice of God to send His Son for us!!! Thank you Lord for everything youve given me this Holiday season!!
