A Time for Remembering

I look at today as a time of opportunity to reflect on great memories of years gone by during the holiday. I remember the anticipation of not only Christmas but Christmas break from school. What would I do with all that time on my hands. Now I think what can I do for my family that gives them great expectation.....not of gifts but of tradition. Maybe it is Christmas Eve Candlelight services. Maybe it is a special food tradition the night of Christmas Eve. Whatever we decide I hope that I can share the special feeling I had growing up on Christmas Eve. This time also reminds me of the special feeling you have to be able to put a smile on someone's face because you gave them a card. My father for as long as I can remember used to take baskets of fruit to his insurance clients the afternoon of Christmas Eve. That special time my father took as always meant a lot to me as the type of person he is and the type of father and leader I inspire to be. I hope this Christmas brings to you that special memory from your past. Many Blessings this Christmas and Advent Season
