days after christmas i sit here amazed by how blessed i am. i look under the tree and see the gifts i've gotten and i can't help but feel a little guilty knowing that there are lots of people who NEED things, and i've gotten things i WANT.
i had lots of family get-togethers during this holiday season. each one was full of laughter, warmth, and love. some people spent christmas alone.
at each get-together, there was more food than i could even imagine eating. i never left hungry and even got to be choosy about what i ate. others were hungry this christmas and went digging in trash cans to find their next meal.
even with temperatures below freezing, i was in a warm house, with cozy blankets and a furnace to keep me warm. many were without shelter or a warm place to stay during the holidays and fridged temperatures.
i am blessed, not only during the holiday season, but the whole year through. i hope before i complain or grumble about something, i remember just how blessed i am.
take a look around, i'm sure you are surrounded by blessings too!

That is so true...but it's so easy to forget how blessed we all are. Happy New Year!! I'm sure 2009 will bring even more blessings to the Davis family! :)
