I have spent the past months working to make a dream a reality... i had only... from the beginning of this dream... set my heart in the place of giving... of sharing... of loving... for the sake of a call... and hoping to find a great love in return... i have seen this dream become a reality... and it was grace that made that dream a reality... the graceful love of a few... that trusted my ability... that knew my heart... that put faith in me... to fulfill a dream... my heart is more blessed by these others than even my own desires have imagined... a dream that started with a conversation with my husband and a passion for others... and by a genuine faith in me... to what became a common goal... i have so many to thank for the blessings upon my life... as this season begins to take hold of our lives... the business of shopping... of search for the perfect gift... of choosing colorful papers... baking and cooking... of traveling from home... to celebrations with family and friends... there is one theme and message I wish to share with you... a message from the heart of my friend... whom I was blessed to introduce to a sanctuary filled with friends and strangers... words of love... "come on in... no need to knock upon my door... come on in... i know what you came here for... come on in... all I have is your to give you... and though you know I stand unqualified... come on in"... may your vision be filled with a candle burning in a window... drawing you closer... to trust the spirit of the season... to find rest in the arms of the one who came to give you life... on this silent night... may the peace that passes all our understanding... keep your hearts and minds... and may you find the true spirit of the season of Christmas... Merry Christmas to you, boy and girls... Brothers and sisters...

The memory is a funny being... i see so clearly yesterday... those are the stories we share... our pictures are perfect....full of color... scenes filled with love... life... experience... tasted... treasured... it is part of a bigger picture... i see a life before... when time often stood still just based on a mood... the end of a day... the depth of a moment... captured in time...yet brought to life... through the heart of another... one created in unconditional love... that which brought a light into a world that began dark... story less... distant... misunderstood... yet... as time passed and days of darkness became filled with memories of another day... one who was before a time... who gave an all for the sake of a cause... which unbeknownst to you... your time had not come... yet in the sunrise again on another day... which the heart of this one gave life to another... i for one never felt that truth until I dared to dream... of a small love that would fill a place that was never...
Today is a day of all that I thought it could be and exactly what I imagined... nothing more and even partially... with a raised eyebrow and a crooked lip I can see how much and too many of what is to be expected truly is... how and when did we become this people... this animal... are all humans consumed with a hint of evil... a dash of mean spirit... a hint of personal regret that molds us into... what... evil... mean... vindictive... unjust... vile... yet we must own all of these characteristics... all these feelings... all these truths about who... what
Wonder.... if... the day has come... or when it does... will I be one of those that is taken... or will I be left behind with the knowledge that... i knew and yet... it is easy to look into the eye of this day and wonder... i see so clearly the light that is lining the path... the way that only leads to where all I've ever dreamed would be... would actually be... i have spent my day with a firm belief that the one who will come is the one who knew where I would be on that moment of return and choose to let me be one of those who is here to be the guide and light to a wounded and sick hearted world... is this the place I will be left to endure... is this the path that has been designed for my feet to trod... will my place be reserved for something better... for work yet to be done... will I hold a truth... to share with those who... while I knew the way I yet chose to live a life of faith blinded by life...
