Peace, sanity, strength and the discipline to pray regularly. I haven't had that discipline,....and it was not by my faith that my mom survived an aneurysm, crainiotomy and all the brutality that comes along with such an event. She is a very young 70 and seems relatively unchanged in personality. What?? The stories I have heard about these things are beyond imagination. We've been so very blessed that it has brought me to my knees. To my knees.
My sister is 5 years clear now of a devastating breast cancer, and my husband has his vision despite detached retinas in both eyes. These are my Christmas gifts. My children are beyond well, my nephew is to become a father shortly.
This next year I will spend significant time on my knees.
I wish you all the very happiest and peaceful of holidays, and may the promise of the Christ Child keep you where you need to be.
