Once again its that special time of the year where we celebrate our Savior’s birth! Spending time with friends and family, reminiscing of all the good time of the past. Of all the memorable Christmas cards, Nativity plays and snowball fights. Yes, the Christmas season can be the most wonderful time of the year for many.
As I contemplate on this year’s holiday season, I’ll take the time to commemorate and send my condolences to the Samuel family. My brother “Mann of Stat” lost his Nana this summer. She lived to the blessed old age of 96 years old. This will be the first Christmas that her five daughters won’t be able to celebrate with their mother. Her passing without a doubt left a big hole in their hearts. My thoughts and prayers will be with them and all the grandkids this year!
I also will remember the men and women in the Arned Forces. Many will be on a tour of duty in the middle east and other various parts of the world. While many will be in military hospitals nursing and rehabbing various ailments they sustained in the wars. Most will be spending the holiday away from friends and family. Let’s not forget those who serve that we might have our freedom.
Our foster care system in the U.S. is filled to capacity. May God allow this Christmas season to bestow some good on the children in foster care. Most of these children only want to be a part of a loving home and a family they can call their own. As you know the holiday can be really hard on them this time of year. Feelings of abandonment and unworthiness can set in. As you spend time enjoying your kids and loved ones remember they in your prayers.
Each day is a gift from our Creator! Continue to cherish each day and special events like its your last; not taking any days for granted! I wish all the blogosphere a very “Merry Christmas!” Big ups to Rochelle and her family! May good health and prosperity be yours in 2013 and beyond! I would like to wish a “Happy Kwanzaa” to Mr. Ed and “D.” True diehard Eagles and Sixers fans. And I can’t forget my fam! Keep your heads yo and stay strong.
As I close, keep in mind; God and fam is really all we have. Let’s set aside our differences, today , so that we can be the positive ancestors of tomorrow.
Peace and Goodwill to All!!
