If you are hurting due to missing your mom or dad or other family member you might want to read this article. Hang in there.

I Thought I Hated Christmas, But I Just Needed To Stop Hiding My Grief

Last night I put up my Christmas tree and cried.
It happens every year.

Well, at least every year since my mom passed away, that is (making this the 22nd consecutive year of hanging bulbs and wiping tears).

And since my dad’s passing seven years ago, the tears have kinda doubled.

Such is to be expected, I guess.

Many of those 22 years, I felt such immense shame for feeling sadness.

“There are people who would give anything to have what you have, Heather.”

“You have food in the fridge and a roof over your head. You are blessed in so many ways. Stop being sad.”

“Focus on what (and who) you have here on earth, Heather; not on those who you don’t.”

Let Their Grandparents Spoil Them This Christmas

Red and green wrapping paper covers family room floors of spoiled children on Christmas Eve and morning. The parents get out screwdrivers to open the backs of new toys and insert over-priced batteries. Toy bins overflow with My Little Ponies, and closet doors can no longer shut. After the holidays, toys are the new bosses of the home. The parents are left with overindulged children who have too many toys to play with. It’s overwhelming for their little minds, and they often act out because of this truth.

But grandparents love to spoil. It is a part of the job description—especially around the holidays.

It reads: GRANDPARENT QUALIFICATIONS–Must possess the ability to provide sugar to his or her grandchild. Upon special occasions, or no occasion at all, a grandparent must give an obscene number of gifts to grandchildren in efforts to drive his or her own child into an asylum.

It gets out of control. And fast.

An unintended pregnancy does not require a couple to raise the child. For every newborn, there are 30-40 couples eager to adopt. Best news is the birth parents can choose the adoptive family they give to their child and they can also choose to remain in contact with their child through pictures, letters and visits. For more information, text or call Marin Pregnancy Clinic at 415-892-0558.

Good article in my opinion. Let us know what you think please. Thanks

He loads the dishwasher. I make sure our kids take vitamins. He pays the bills. I fold the laundry. He wrestles them before bedtime. I cuddle them on the couch.

I don’t ever recall us making those assignments. Instead, it’s a dance we’ve learned as we’ve grown. It’s me stepping in when it’s my turn and him stepping up to the challenges, too.

And I couldn’t be more grateful for this team we’ve built together. We aren’t perfect; we mess up. But we know how to apologize, and we trust God is writing a good story for us.

And I can’t help but stop and thank God each time I consider how much better we are together. I’m so grateful he loads the dishwasher, while I get the vitamins.

I Hold You Still

There are nights you fight sleep with every ounce of your being.

You writhe in my arms. Pull away from hushed lullabies murmured in your ear. Cry out in righteously indignant protest.

I hold you still.

Your world is expanding—exponentially, it seems—and sleep is so often a nuisance in your quest to see and do and experience it all. The world is wide, and the hours are short. There’s just so much to do.

I hold you still.

It’s a delicate dance we do these nights, one we’ll do for many nights to come. I try coaxing sleep from your obviously-tired body; you resist. You try convincing me you don’t need to go to bed just yet; I persist.

I hold you still.

As I rock with your toddler-sized frame heavy against my chest, I breathe you in, trying to sear this feeling into my heart. You’re growing at breakneck speed, testing boundaries, pushing limits. You’re already past the baby stage, not quite yet to the little girl stage, suspended in the shift of childhood for just a moment.

I hold you still.

One day, I’ll look back on nights like this and be transported right back to these throes of motherhood. I’ll miss them, I know, because I was created for them. These long nights, these frustrating hours, these feelings of wonder mixed with waiting—they are a calling, whispered by our Maker, into my ear long before you were here, filling my arms.

Before long, these moments will be only memories, a few lines in the story we’re writing together, one of hopes and dreams and love.

And I’ll hold them in my heart, just as I hold you now, still.
