thoughts at Christmas

Steven comes home tonight .. finally..he has been with my parents and cousins in Disney since the 12th and then followed by 3 days at the condo on the beach. I am ready for him to be home, however he has had the best time. and so enjoyed the water. My dad took him fishing for the first time in the gulf and the at 4 caught the first fish and the most fish and helped my mama reel in her hammerhead shark which he thought was so cool and then Sunday was their beach day and he decided that he was going to swim out to my dad. no fear.. he did get to touch a shark that day. I hope to have pictures to post from the trip. Christmas time always make me think to that first Christmas with Steven and how heavy my heart was, which brings me to my mother who on the first trip to Baton Rouge played a song in the car "Joy Comes in the Morning", which of course had my crying like a baby,I have been listening to a lot lately along with the Gaither version of " Rock of Ages", this Christmas is also the frist anniversary of my grandmother passing. I am going to try to put both those songs on this post, just don't know if I can do that. But when Vestal Goodman sings her part "When I draw my fleeting breath and my eyes shall close in vain." It gives me chills
Have a Merry Christmas one and all
