Well Christmas 2010 has officially ended . Its hard to fathom once again another year comes to a close. The presents have been opened , the food eaten and still being eaten ( expanding belt loops or what) and family visited.
For many this has been a trying Christmas . A Christmas without a loved one. A Christmas without knowing where they will be in the coming year . So many other trials could be mentioned . But in the midst of that darkness there is hope . Not based on this world , not based on this life . Money is fleeting, life can be full of hardships and people will let you down .You will let others down . The world is broken and full of sin , because we live in it.
But hope has come in God , in Jesus 2000 years ago. He doesn't guarantee a life without pain or hardship but He does save you from the wrath to come , from sin,from hell . He will be our never failing Lord . We must keep our eyes on Christ , we take them off Him , we will fall into despair for let be honest , this life is hard.
So Christmas has gone for another year yes , but don't forget the hope that came and is coming again in the person of Jesus Christ.

This has been my best Christmas ever. I thought the one after my surgery couldn't be topped. But, this was pretty close to tying it. Considering one of the highlights, that year was walking with a walker. The other was trying to keep my hand over my trach, when I talked, so that it would heal back over again.
It may make you wonder what was so great about that or even this year. I think it was finally realizing that what is so great about Christmas is Christ. How thankful I am for Him and his presence when everything seems overwhelming. How grateful I am, to Him, for you and the boys who stand on your heads to give me a fabulous Christmas. It has not gone unnoticed.
Trust me, in the world of women, you guys are on the high side of thoughtfulness. I hear it all the time. "I have to practically shop for myself or my daughter does it. The feeling that they have to do everything but their husband doesn't take the time to even help out let alone buy them something. It has to do with feeling taken for granted.
So, even though I joke that I managed to not stand still long enough for you to decorate, I appreciate and value you and the boys. Merry Christmas, Mr Christmas. Love you, Mrs Reg
