I can't believe Christmas is over; time sure flies when you are having fun with friends and family! My parents joined us again this year for Christmas, and it was such a relaxing and enjoyable visit. I always hate to see them go!
We brought in the New Year with a Feis in Pittsburgh, the wedding of my dear friend Ruth's son, and a Christmas celebration with Scott's family (we had to post-pone Christmas a week because of my brother-in-law's work schedule.) It was all lovely.
I have to admit to something, however; I felt a lot of guilt this year. Although I loved my presents I received, I felt guilty about each one. I already have so much, how can I possibly deserve more? It pains me to know there are families and children in our own country who had nothing this Christmas. I realize this is not a problem I can solve; but it still makes me feel guilty. Please pray for each person in our world who is suffering; who doesn't have the necessities of life; who is cold, alone, and afraid. Our prayers can make a difference, so let's send some powerful prayers out for them!
I also have to let you all know that I have had a difficult time since Thanksgiving. I think I shared that I was sick, well, I am still struggling to overcome what appears to be a virus. It has been well over a month, and I am still tired and at times feeling ill. I can hear again, which is a HUGE improvement, but I have had to really slow down. Over the holidays, I needed a long nap each afternoon just to function in the evening. This slowed down time has just served as one more reminder of the incredible gift I have been given. Please continue to keep me in your prayers!
May God bless each and every one of you in this new year! My love goes out to you all! Nancy
