Christmas

Christmas is new this year for me and my family as we reconnect with family and find how they have grown. My younger brother in law is an amazing musician, having written two songs for the guitar that our whole family loves, and my older brother in law has produced, written and is distributing films that positive for family and faith that made me weep! My little niece is a beautiful little two year old pixie that makes me smile simply by talking to me. I have reconnected with old friends in a way that has made me appreciate my past instead of regret it - I appreciate my wife because she is a beautiful, unique, and inspiring woman. How can so much come to someone who gives so little? If nothing else, these days visiting my wife's family in Southern California have renewed my belief in God and put me into a place where I am less about struggling to find out and more about learning from what God is bringing me.
