Christmas Blues

I was just thinking today about my sister and her wonderful husband who, along with their children, are serving the Lord in Argentina. I was thinking about how odd it is going to be to not have them at our Christmas celebration. In no way do I question why they are there, or God's purpose in their lives, but they will truly be missed this year as we go about our Christmas traditions. Jeremy, Katie, and family, we love you and miss having you around.

This holiday season we will undoubtedly open every present and observe every tradition as we joyously celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. We will sing every carol and most assuredly eat every pie. We will watch every sappy Christmas movie as they are paraded into our living room. We will hang every wreath. We will trim every tree. We will do every little thing we always do this time of year. Yet our Christmas could never be complete, because part of it is now in Buenos Aires.

Merry Christmas Estremas! Your presence will be sorely missed in every activity this year. Remember that in everything you do, you have your family's love and support and you are in their prayers continually.

This one goes out to you guys!
