I think the Christmas Season is the time I miss my extended family the most!! Christmas in Saint Lucia was always a time for family; parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, sisters, brother, cousins. There was always laughter, food and people. Oh yes, it sometimes brought annoyance, if someone did not get what they wanted; but primarily it brought happiness. Sometimes it saddens my heart, that the girls are growing up without that experience. Around that time of the year, always comes the question; what am I doing here? But God is faithful, He reminds me of His love, His mercy, His grace!! He never does anything without already knowing the outcome!! The song says "His grace is amazing to me!! That is certainly true!!
Christmas was rather quiet, this year. We bought the girls a Wii and of course they showed us how to play it (lol) It was a good day. There was laughter, peace and a sence of comfort that came with the day, that was surely lacking. We had been so busy lately that it was good to do nothing. The girls and I baked bread together. It was truely a good day.
