Earlier I posted a prayer request that my ### and her two children would make it to my "Little Christmas" dinner that we had planned, with my ### as another guest. The problem was my ### had gotten sent home from school because she had a headache and some nausea. [I suspect this child's schedule is off because of pre-Christmas non-stop partying.] Anyway, she rested and felt better, and they came. It turned out to be a wonderful, wonderful time! The pizza was delicious! We had salad. We had fantastic gourmet Christmas cookies for dessert. I gave each of the children a small gift, not their main Christmas presents. I gave my ### a seed bead peace sign necklace that has an adjustable length. She can wear that for years. Then since my ### loves to play with my apartment decorations, I gave him a set of five small, colorful soapstone elephants, identical to the ones on my coffee table. I also gave my ### both his Christmas and birthday presents so he can wear them over the holidays, two beautiful sweaters from a company in Ireland. He absolutely loved them. My ### misses my late ### so much, but I have to say that tonight he really looked happy. My ### did too. And those beautiful children! They melt my heart. Thank you, Jesus, for this love-filled, happy evening. Thank you for blessing me with my family. This was Little Christmas, Year One. I am officially starting a tradition.
