HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! I can hardly believe that 2010 is over! It does not seem like it is even a possibility! It seems like the older I get, the faster the years go by. It’s kind of weird, really. Does anybody else feel that way? I am looking forward to the things that may lay in store for this year…here’s to an awesome 2011!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope that everyone will take a moment and think about the real meaning of Christmas. The birth of our Savior was a miracle that changed the lives of everyone in the world. He willingly came into this world to take upon the sins of the world. It is because of Him that we can return to our Father in Heaven one day. Also, I hope that everyone takes a moment to think about those men and women who are away from home protecting our freedoms. I know that I will be praying for their safe return to their loved ones. I also know that I will be praying that they (along with their loved ones) will be comforted during the separation. As for all of you 😉 I hope that each and every one of you will have a Christmas that is full of joy, love, warmth, and the light of our Savior.
I Am So Blessed!
All throughout the day today, I have had these words going through my brain. They are from a country song…I am so blessed! I have a job, in spite of the fact that the economy is so bad right now. I have really awesome friends…I mean it…REALLY awesome. I have friends that I have met through church. I have friends I have met through work. I have friends I have met through other means…I am so blessed to have so many people that actually like hanging out with me! Each of my friends have touched my heart in some special way, and I hold them each near and dear to my heart. Another one of my blessings is my family. I have the blessing of knowing that I can be with them for eternity! To have a companion on this earth that I have so much in common with (yet have enough differences to make the relationship work) who loves me enough to overlook my shortcomings…or helps me to overcome them, and to know that we have not only this life, but the next to be together as a family. To have parents and siblings who I know would do anything for me…it’s amazing! I am also blessed to have Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ in my life. I know that Heavenly Father is my father…and that Jesus Christ is my brother, and that they love me unconditionally…that they love everybody in this world unconditionally. It’s hard to even wrap my brain around it. I’ve said it a lot during this post, but I’ll say it again: I am so blessed!
