Merry Christmas....EVERYONE!

Life is on....fast forward!
So much is happening...so fast...around me that I have to stop to catch my breath...in order to breathe!
Many of you know our dear friend Jane....(pictures on my previous blogs) and her fight with cancer.
Yesterday Cindy and I went to see Jane and in essence said our 'good-byes' in our heart......knowing that God can at any moment bring that Miracle that everyone is praying for.
Jane is so blessed with so many people that love her and are 'flocking' to her side in order to express that love again and again....
She receives it all....in 'Jane style'....and often is heard to say, "I need my space!"....Cindy and I came home worn out from trying to give Jane our energy and strength through our heart, mind and soul.
My dear husband, prepared me food which blessed me.
Then I received a phone call (i.e.medicine therapy)from my friend, Melissa, and after listening to her wild and crazy escapades, I found myself laughing and laughing and laughing....
Can you believe that Pammy's pig, Charlotte, gets so excited upon seeing her buddy, Roxy, the dog, that she falls over with a stroke or heart attack?
Honest to God...a real live vet in Indiana swears this breed is famous for 'too much excitement' death syndrome.... The pig survived but now has a 'bad leg'....
Then imagine if you will.....two beautiful, BUSY, women painting for two days in a empty house....and then using the vast amount of money earned by the sweat of their brow....not to buy 'diamonds' for themselves....but to indulge family members with gifts like boat trifles, teen-age iPods, and even other things called 'crap' by some family member.....
So it goes in the family saga of the...Collins family!
Surely needed to hear all the zany things happening to others...
Life is a present.....who needs anything else?
Merry "Jesus Loves You and So Do I" Christmas!
