It's Christmas time again...and other holidays

Well, this is my 1st first blog, well, my 2nd attempt at it being my 1st blog (I created one on another site and published it but then forgot to check it ha!).  So with that being said, any errors can be forgiven right? 

It's December 2014 which means, for me, I've been blessed so far to see another Christmas.  I'm missing my family though; those who have gone on.  My sister, Yolanda; my grandmother, Pecola; my uncle, Chuck; my step-father, Bob and more.  The pain isn't as bad but it's there. When people say, "It'll get better as time goes on..." they must not have lost anyone or perhaps it has for them and they're just sharing what they've experienced.  For me, no, it's still here but I'm ok.  My faith sustains me which tells me I'll see them again.  My heart still says that I want them here though.  

I've forgotten the sound of their voices.  That scares me. 

If you're reading this and you've gotten this far, maybe it's because you've lost someone dear to you.  How have you coped?  Have you?  Maybe it's recent so you're still dealing with the newly established pain and I'm sorry for your loss.  My mom has to deal with the loss of her husband as I mentioned earlier.  Hopefully she'll be ok as much as she can be.  My sister's children have always had a hard time of it because she was taken from them at very young ages.  I'll discuss that at a later date.  If you're interested of course. :-)

So, this is going to be a short one (blog).  Again, I'm new to this and I just had this thought on my heart that I wanted to share with anyone who may have the same emotions.  Christmas is a time of joy, hence the "Merry Christmas" sentiment that people express to each other through out the month and it is merry.  Christ came here born of a willing virgin to redeem us (if we chose) from our sin.  He loved us just that much to obey His father, be tortured, beaten, spit upon, lied on, teased and then died on the cross and placed in the tomb for the world. Only thing is, He didn't remain in the tomb. Jesus rose again and is sitting on the right side of the throne next to GOD.  I could go on but perhaps I'll share my thoughts on Him also on a later date.  Who am I kidding?  I shall. :-)  

Thank you for reading my blog and if you have any comments (hopefully nice ones), questions or concerns, please share them.  I'm looking forward to it...a little scared too.  Merry Christmas Everyone!
