Christmas was a wonderful holiday at our house.
We spent the morning and most of the afternoon helping feed the homeless and indigent, as well as anyone too poor to have a quality Christmas dinner.
The lesson this year, taught by those too poor to be invited in to supper with the elites, was that happiness has no relationship to wealth, looks, popularity, or political correctness.
Some of those that my bride and I got to serve, and then sit and eat Christmas dinner alongside, were the happiest souls you've ever met. They laughed, poked fun at each other, and their reduced circumstances, ate as much they could possibly eat...
AND THEN they got up and helped clean up their tables, wash the dishes, and sweep then mop the floors. They made a game out of helping, because they are usually treated like disease ridden pests, and chased out of the shelters where they eat, as quickly as possible.
In the new year I hope to learn to be as happy as they made me on Christmas, for the entire year.
It's my prayer for all of you, too.

Happy new year to you too.

Dear God,
I promise I will no longer complain and will begin to like the mind-numbingly long game of baseball if you would just, with Your grace, turn the heat back on.
Sincerely,
Your servant, Stan(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171231/0f381e01f2263f68212c680bbe8089e5.jpg)

I could use some Man Made Global Warming right about now. :(
