Entry for December 24, 2008- Merry Christmas

As I get ready to head over to my family's Christmas party(We Latinos celebrate on Christmas Eve, in case you didn't know), I think about what Christmas has become. I made the comment earlier today That I am disgusted that everyone has forgotten that the holiday's purpose is to celebrate the arrival of our Savior, Jesus Christ- not to gloat over who was able to get the hottest gift of the year. The gifts should be for the kids, but what e should really do is follow Jesus' example, if not this day then when? We should be kind, loving and thoughtful year-round. Christmas is as good as day as any to start. So Merry Christmas to everyone who reads this. May God guide you and protect you and never forget that He loved us so much that He offered up His only Son as the perfect sacrifice to absolve us of our sins.

Christien, I left a gift for you with Family Services at the courthouse, where we had our visits. I hope you receive it. It was the greatest gift ever given to me, and I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me. Please behave yourself, mi hijo, and I will keep praying that 2009 is better than 2008 for us. I love you son. From all of us on this side of your family, Feliz Navidad to you and the rest of the other side of your family. May our love for you be the bridge that brings us all together as one family under God.
