Christmas for so many of us is full of painful hurtful as well as beautiful memories. Whether the pain was cause in our childhood our teenaged years or the challenges of realtionships in our adult life . The thing we need to avoid giving life to the ghosts of Christmas past dreading the ghosts of Christmas presentor fear the ghost of Christmas future. Rather we need to look to the true gift of Christmas. A gift of Love for all of us. A practical gift for use everyday in all our joys and sorrows . This program shows that we may indeed be powerless in our situation but it also show us a way to cope. If we truly trust we indeed are loved by a HP and are deserving of that love we will surely Experience Strength and Hope of our true Christmas present.I am so blessed to have become an adopted member of this awesome family of ours. This too has been a tremendous gift that I cherish.Just for Today, lets take it One Day at a Time but let that one day be that special Christmas day. Merry Christmas
