When my parents were preparing to be old, they tossed most of the family pictures.
They were downsizing, something they had to do three times--homestead to mobile home, mobile home to assisted living, assisted living to Ron's house. They wanted to rid themselves of the unnecessary. Apparently, old family photos qualified.
As a result, we don't have many Polaroid memories of Christmases past. I wish we did. Photos are a way to wrap up time so you can savor it later.
How do you wrap time? Not only to preserve it, but to maximize it. How do you make sure there is enough time for Christmas? The real deal; not the glitzy, shop-till-you-drop, Hollywood-Christmas-Parade clone. Is there enough time left over for the Mass of Christ?
Building a Better Christmas starts Sunday. Come ready to wrap.

I try to journal the events that happen and our memories and hopefully they will find them and remember the times together and how Christ has worked in our lifes all the prayers that were said for them and how God is faithful and answered them..I use to worry about what I got for people and weather they would like them or not and now I worry weather I have shown them the love of Christ or did what I needed to do to bring them to Christ..
