A Simple Joy
"The mail is here."
"I'll get the opener."
"She looks just like her mom."
"He has his dad's eyes."
"What a great family picture!"
"Another little one?!?!"
This conversation, and many like it, happen on an almost daily basis at our home during the Christmas season. We love receiving all the cards and letters from friends and family.
Many of our friends made here in our small city on the plains have moved on to other parts of our country. Often these Christmas greetings may be the only time of the year we "see" them. Unfortunately, sometimes it is also the only time of the year we touch base with them.
Last year I began adding a Christmas letter to our cards simply because I enjoy getting them from others so much. Perhaps this coming Christmas we will include a family picture - simply because I enjoy getting them from others so much.
I need to put that in my notebook. . . .
