He was in Iraq for seven months, won ’t be home for Christmas and will probably return to Iraq in October of ‘08. We pray everyday current conditions will change and our men and women won ’t have to go and fight a war they understand little about. However, the plan today is Gary will go again along with many other men in his troop. To date our blog, grammology.com has worked with Stephanie, from the Eastern Hills Wesleyan Church who has sent over 500 packages to the over 900 soldiers currently serving our country in Iraq. Christmas for our soldiers will be stark. Every card, gift, box, or message becomes a reason to smile. I note the different organizations sending emails, gifts, food etc. and I’m grateful we are such giving people.
So, celebrating in our family means many things. Giving, sharing, talking, knowing a little about eachothers needs. Whatever your belief, remember those who have less. Determine if your willing to give time, effort, money or something you made yourself. Find the true meaning of celebrating, which may mean sharing with those who have less.
Most important, tell your family and friends you love them. Giving your love, is more important then givng a gift. At least it is in our family.
My best to you.
