" Greater is he who suffers through the pain and comes through the other side improved. Greater is he who accepts discouragement and keeps forward momentum, never retreating. Greater is he who sees the light at the end of the tunnel and keeps their eye on the light. Greater is he who gets knocked off his feet and gets back up, dusts himself off and gets back in the fight. Life is tough, but you are stronger."

Christmas!

As I grow older I see more of what Christmas actually means. Its not the presents that matter one bit, but your family and friends. I have never had a Christmas where my presents overflowed the living room nor will I ever let my future family have that. I love just being around the people that care for me and are there for me 365 days of the year.

Growing up, not going to lie I had been caught in the present side of Christmas like every child usually is. I hated going back to school after Christmas break and hearing all the kids brag about what they got, as I really never got anything to brag about. As I got older I learned the giving part in Christmas that it is better to give than receive. I never got why my mom loved Christmas so much, I mean we never went anywhere for Christmas we didn't have a lot of gifts, so what was the point? Well the point is there is something about Christmas the feeling in the air, the traditions we had that made the season worth looking forward too, the family time, the love and charity that filled everyone's heart around. I finally get it.

I love Christmas for the simple reasons....

This year has really showed me the true meaning of Christmas. I wish all of you a Merry Christmas and remind you that this time of year is not about gifts or getting. It is about Peace, Love, Joy and Charity. Remember to give is better than to receive. The main reason for Christmas is to remember our beloved saviour Jesus Christ. I love him. He is my king and I will be remembering his birthday today.
