Last week as I layed in bed saying prayers I asked for relief form being congested.I could not breath.I was all plugged up.I cont with my prayers,when I noticed I COULD BREATH.Wow how quick was that.I was so amazed I lost track on what I was praying about.
Christmas eav rolled around.This year alot of traditions came to an end.I was stressing because of my wifes physical condition I was unable to get her to church and family get togethers.I had to choose.

I am not quite sure if I even decided.But we went to her parents house.Wanted to go to church but it was late night service and with her condition she was sure to tire even doing 1.
Unsure I prayed to God and shared with him I was not happy with the way things worked out.I felt very guilty.
At my inlaws house I tryed to keep an upbeat attitude.Lets just say traditionaly I am only able to deal with so much of her mmmmmmmmom.She tends to drive me up a wall.yappp yappp yapp.Non stop.Questioning our every breath and move.Almost like being interigated.I cont ask God for foregiveness on this situation.I was dreading this get together.
As I was sitting on the couch I noticed my nose was unplugged.Thank you Lord.Then I was offered some crackers and cheese by my motherin law.I had to ask WHAT?
The Lord had went a step further in my times of need.





:y ay:

.
I could barly hear a word she or her husband said.
Oh yea!See the lips movin but a blurred low tone mummer.Stress gone instantly.

The rest of the eav went great.My wife,my son and a dog named Sting.I was able to find that warm calm feeling that all was right.
Not what I expected.A huge change in our traditions.Trying so hard to do what I thought would make the eavning.Trying to stay in my comfort zone.Doing year after year. THIS holliday season was anything but tradition.Reflecting on it.I come to know.People and traditions will come and go.As long as I keep the Holy Family in my heart I will never be alone.
After all went to bed.I stood outside with my dog by my side.Reflecting on the eav and what had transpired.The thoughts were broken by the nudging of my hand.By non other then Sting even he could understand.
The cold air and a break in the clouds.We were lucky to catch a glimps of some stars.
Being there at that moment in time.
It was silent,all was calm.
It was a holy night............................................. .................
