Welcome to December

We are still here. It's been several busy weeks of December thus far.
I had promised a post about Shayla & that will come...the words are still growing from within my heart but I need to be sensitive to Shayla as well.
Hayden plain & simple just wears us out! Unless you are a fly on the wall there simply is NO way for us to explain just how busy he is, how you can barely even go to the bathroom alone, how sometimes we each have to just walk away from a stressful moment. But God grants us forgiveness & the ability to say 'I'm sorry'...thank goodness Hayden's disability doesn't give him the ability to hold grudges nor remember those moments (that we know of).
But December is also the month of Advent...the time leading up to the birth of Christ as a baby. I have enjoyed this Advent season this year...through several blogs I read, special church services, doing projects for others...not only is Advent about the birth of Christ (in my heart) but growing as a spiritual person as well through some of these routes.
My prayer for each that reads this blog is for you step out of your boundaries doing something for others this holiday season...turn the focus away from yourself & your family...we are trying to do the same.
