Family Together Again

The Good News Today Is...soon my family will be together for the holidays. My son comes home from college tonight and my daughter will arrive next week-end. I am looking forward to having them here. Sometimes life gets a little crazy when they are all around - but it's a good kind of crazy. I am thankful that my children will all be able to be together with us for Christmas. There are so many that can't travel to be with their families, or soldiers that are stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan that can't come home - I am very blessed to have my family near me. I pray for all of those that will be alone on Christmas Day, may they realize the Spirit of Christ is always with them and they are never truly alone. I pray for those missing their family on Christmas Day, may they find a way to celebrate Christ's birth that is new and meaningful to them. The holidays are not always happy for everyone, I pray for those who find them difficult, may they find peace within their suffering. Once again, I give thanks for the family I have and that I will be able to share the holidays with.
