Gratitude Journal – Day 177 – December 25, 2014

You’re not alone…
God is with you, through every trial and tribulation. And it is because he loves you so much that he sent his only son to earth for you and for me. And it is today that we celebrate his birthday, the day that changed our world for eternity. As I visited with my Dad, he mentioned the magic of children at Christmas time and it brings visions of multiple generations to mind. And like the Ghost of Christmas Past in the Christmas Carol, I see my parents with my sister and me, me with my boys, myDarlin’ with his children and our kids with our grandchildren – all moments frozen in time….
As our Ohana continues traditions and begins new ones as well, we can take comfort knowing that our loved ones are looking over us. And we know that Christmas is truly more than presents, candy canes and egg nog as we celebrate Jesus’ birth.
Today, as I drive through the silent night, I am grateful for all of the Christmas’s I had with myDarlin’ Robert Kenui Pope, and that we’ve all had with our loved ones present and past. And as sure as the dawn will soon break, Jesus is the light of this world.
