It's Christmas once again. A time to reflect on one's faith if you are Christian, and a time to reflect on life's wonder if you are of other faiths.
Here's the in-law side of the family, back in Virginia, where once again we are poised to travel the always unfriendly skies in search of some respite, good ol' family cooking, and perhaps some snow to top off the holiday.
My wife Beth's parents are growing older (and what, we're not?), and each year it seems we grow closer to each other because we have learned this past year at least one, and perhaps many more things about each other. For my part, this has been year of seeing how dignity is confirmed in a person's life. Both Beth's parents are suffering from some serious medical problems, and yet it is with grace and total giving that they spend their time with us.
Just remember it's Christmas TIME. Money and status will pass, but each moment we allocate to those we love gift wraps a little bit more of ourselves to that person.
May your Christmas TIME be with those you love.
