Christmas 2020

 

It's Christmas time again! This time of year is the Mother of my child's favorite. I remember watching her in the car driving down the road with her hands on the wheel...her fingers dancing to the music, thinking his beautiful she was. Being together decorating the house and tree while she was pregnant, I'll tell you, she was positively glowing! Being locked up plus this Covid thing, we have even more time to think. I've been thinking about my boy, Caleb, and the times we had together for Christmas. Honestly , I didn't cherish those moments enough. See, at that time in my life I still thought like a teenager. Now though since it does no good to dwell on the past, I can't wait to create new memories with him! This time of year we, as Christians, celebrate the coming and birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We ( normally) come together as a family and give presents to our loved ones as the Magi did for Jesus. We feast and enjoy each others company with many family traditions. Caleb, although we aren't able to be together for a while, know this. You, my son, are such a blessing to me and your Mom! We are proud of the young man you are becoming and love you more than you realize at this time in your life. You're in my thoughts and always in my prayers. I Love you. Many inmates don't get the opportunity to ever tell their kids they love them. I thank God I have a Mother who is a follower of Christ, and understands the meaning of forgiveness, and how important it is to have both parents in the child's life. Jesus had Mary and Joseph. He stood beside his earthly father learning how to be a carpenter, even though He was God. Spending time together whether in person, over the phone, or Internet is so important. Especially during these trying times! Thank God He loved us enough to send His only Son to be born of a virgin and die in order to reconcile us humans to Himself! Remember the reason for the season! Jesus, the Messiah!
