Scripture says, “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.” (2 Cor. 8:9)
It has been crazy, good hectic here in our household! We are nearing the celebration of the birth of our Savior and the coming of ST Nicholas to millions of children around the world. Most of my gift buying is finished and wrapped but each year I try to do some kind of different stockings for my girls...it is getting harder. I need to put on my thinking cap for this year because Timmy made the girls furniture pieces which cannot be used as a container for stuffing!!
I am feeling a little down this year after getting an email from my brother Dave that he will not be attending our Annual Huber Christmas Eve (afternoon) get together and there is a chance that my baby sister has chosen not to come also. I think that it is so disrespectful to my quite elderly parents BUT it is their decision they are more than grown. Sherry has her own loss to deal with as do the girls and I with the loss of children and I understand the trials and depression that the Holidays can bring. It will soon be 11 years since Jamey's passing and coming on 10 years for Brittany which seems impossible. I will ask the Father to bless her and her family mightily and to keep my Jamey and her Brittany safe in His loving arms!
Be blessed in this holy season and if you suffer with depression know that you are not alone.
