This will be the first Christmas for some of us where a loved one will no longer be with us to celebrate. All of us will have loved ones who have been gone from us for longer.
Take time today to rejoice that we had the privilege to share in those lives. Then let us all show those who are with us on this day how much we cherish them.
I thank all of you who have taken time out of your lives this year to give me the gift of your time and wisdom, whether it has been by sending me stories to help illustrate the preciousness of rights endowed by our Creator, to send a word of encouragement, or to educate and help me grow--either by confirming or correcting my assumptions.
My Christmas wish for you is that you have as much love in your life as I have been fortunate to find in mine. It surely beats all the riches in the world.
Merry Christmas.
