thanksgiving dinner/holidays 2009 xmas

We at my home have gone tru an emotion roller coaster,we have dealt with death(2) within 2 months,bankruptcy,sickness,law issues,and a total shake-up of the roots in our tree,suffering is not a word for us is a reality,but we have a saying in our home and family God does not trow anything at you that it can not be handle.Holidays in this have been very traumatic the last 3 years,we have endured so far the worst of times this is why family is so important to everyone because when the chips are down the family will pull you tru all adversity that comes with misery and all it`s components,we know other families`s gone tru worst and we commend them in dealing with it.Right now we are pulling has a family even do it`s not perfect and we definitely need a family sit down or pow-wow to vent our grievances with each other that for years they have gone the way side it`s time to fix or let everyone know your feelings and views.I as an older member of the family have to consider everyone`s feelings,but it falls on the older members to pull the family tru and give it our all to fix and discuss issues that may break the family and it`s members.We trust all of them, so it will be done feelings or no feelings,one could sense the love that this family has for one another and we wanted to stay like this but every now and again it has to be pulled or tighten as a family

Hello my friends yes i consider all friends good and bad,this has been a great experience this year good and bad,my dear and faithful wife has been with me every step of the way even do it cost her problem for being supportive,i talk about on other blogs,the lost of my nephew was one of the hardest things to take because of him being so young just starting to understanding this thing called "LIFE" the kid did not have a chance,i tried to help in the only ways i knew at the time and i say it like this because when you don`t know the particulars is like being BLIND,i wish today he would be here but the LORD wants him or needs him there to watch over us cause we need it ! and God took him to do just that at least that is my thinking and faith,you look and reflect in moments like this so we could make sense of things as they come.Well i have always believed on the lord and his ways,what can we hang on to if not his mercy.
