To believe in making wishes

and have faith they can come true,

To believe that you can find some joy

in everything you do,

To believe in giving gladly

for no reason, just because,

to believe in love...that's what it means

to believe in Santa Claus.

Well, Everyone thinks Christmas is my favorite holiday, and I suppose it is....but, it's Thanksgiving that really kick starts it for me........ it is what reminds me of what it's all about and what we have to be thankful for. and then the joy begins.......the giving, the loving and all the getting together with the family and all the kindness the world gives to one another and then finally Christmas......... Not to mention that my birthday is near Christmas and I love that part.......it's like the whole world celebrates with me......makes me a kid again......

Footprints in the Sand


One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you."
