As Christmas fast approaches, I get tired of just shopping and wrapping things... we already have lots of things. What is important? Important things to me are family, friends, fellowship and a true relationship with Christ. Other things, not so important. Family - a two way street... one person can't do all the work - I used to think I could. I tried to buy and do everything for everyone else, the only thing I accomplished was just spoiling children who now expect you to do everything and you get nothing in return... no phone calls no communication. Sorry, I'm done. It's my turn now - me and my family. I call my brothers, email regularly and some of us talk on the phone periodically. Lots of phone calls from and to my Dad, Julian and my in-laws... the two way street thing works well.
Friends, more important now - this is the family you get to choose and what a varied group we have - just like beautiful colors in a quilt - polka dots and tie dyed, argyle and solids... what a bunch!
This year I hope to study my Bible more, do more at church and worry less!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you Shileys out there.
