Overwhelmed and overpriviledged

Well this Christmas would definetly rate up there with one of the best. If my mom were still here, I might make this my number one. My children all received presents that from their viewpoint were exactly what the wanted and more! They all were very gracious on top of that and really poured out the thank you's this year. We all received gifts from each other, homemade or store bought, all in all they are exponentially wonderful! What a wonderful Christmas eve we had opening our presents that morning, spending time with the kids, and then packing to leave for our annual vacation with the family. Late afternoon we ventured out to find some lunch/dinner and came home for more packing and getting dressed for Christmas Eve service. We had a wonderful service which reminded me once again why we do Christmas and then left for family. Traveling in style with my new Christmas present (yes, mama got a new ride) and breaking it in for our annual treck. We flew in around the time Santa would land on the roof top and deliver his toys, tucked out sweet little ones in only to awaken early the next morning. Able to spend time with my step father and just us, with Christmas lunch and then back to the inlaws for more food and presents. Most importantly we have just been able to hang out and spend time with family and friends and relax. We've enjoyed our annual stay, not that it is over but just wanted to touch base and let you all know, I'm relaxing. Believe it or not I don't even have a plan! I just wake up every morning and then we decide on what to do! Build a Bear, shopping, eating, family, church, reading my newest book, and eating some more! God truly showed me the meaning of Christmas is to follow Him, cry on Him, let Him do the planning, and trust in Him more than I ever have before! Thank you Lord Jesus!
