The past week has been full. It's been a roller-coaster emotionally, some real down times, but some good times thrown in. Last night a group of my cousins got together for dinner and an evening of fun. Time spent with them is therapeutic for me, and I thoroughly enjoy times like last night. I find myself unconditionally accepted to a greater extent than even some more immediate family interactions. I'm so grateful for the wonderful people who make up my extended family. They are profoundly important to me.
As we move into the last few days before Christmas it is very tempting to get caught up in the pursuit of possessions, turning life into some kind of contest. It is good for me to be reminded that experiences like the family time yesterday are far more important to me than any stuff that can be bought or sold.
Today is another busy day, teaching Sunday School this morning. (rather nervous about that) Lunch at Grandpa's, Steelers game in the afternoon, then the Church Christmas program will be held this evening.
Merry Manic Christmas Season to all
