Day 5 ::Celebrate Your Life:: 25 Days of Christmas

I have been strong all week. Today? I just can't do it. Today my friend buried her 15 year old daughter. Today I can't be strong, as much as I want to. Today I want you to tuck your little ones in and tell them that you love them. Today I want you to do something that you have been putting off for some time. Today I want you to celebrate life.

Tomorrow, we will resume the 25 Days of Christmas.

Sorry for your heartache. My extended family recently was part of a terrible accident that left my mom's granddaughter in the hospital for 3 weeks (she is home now and in PT), but killed her best friend. Hard to reconcile anytime, but especially this time of year. God is still with us and always loves us.
