No, your eyes aren't deceiving you! This makes two days in a row!

I hope each one of you had a nice Christmas with family and friends! My whole family was here today, including my nephew Kevin. He's in the Navy and hasn't been here in a number of years.

Today it was nice to be with my family! As always Mom did a great job on the turkey, dressing and all the fixings! Thanks dad for helping her out with all the preparations since she's has been busy taking care of Granny!

I also want to say thanks to my heavenly father! I was so happy that my Grandmother had a good morning! It may seem like something small; but Granny is 90 years old and doesn't always handle change very well (she rarely leaves her house these days). I wasn't sure what today was going to be like because of that. Her memory is gone and she can't really communicate very good. The words that she need are just not there and it's really hard to see her this way! However, this morning it wasn't as hard as it normally is. The change of routine didn't seem to really affect her! For just a brief moment during lunch I was even able to see a glimpse of the old Granny that I knew! Isn't it wonderful to know that God loves us so much that he even cares about the little things! I don't know about the rest of the family; but for me it was a very special time having Granny here! Every time I come home I wonder it this will be the last time I will see her! If it is, I'll always be thankful to God for such a nice Christmas day to remember!

Please pray for my Mom, uncle and sister! Since May they have taken care of my grandmother around the clock with very little other help. If you have ever taken care of an elderly family member, you know how hard it is! I would really appreciate your prayers for them!

Well, I need to close for now! It's already past 12:00 am, so I need to hit the sack. I'm going to help my sister clean her house tomorrow and can't sleep in like I have been doing.

His servant,
Angie
