Christmas 2004.…
What a wonderful family celebration we had on Christmas Day…..
I do hope that all of you remember …for years to come…the ‘special’ moments of togetherness that was shared with your loved ones….
Christmas memories will remain prominent in our thoughts since this was the year of ‘the wedding’ and the ‘parting’….
Joy and sorrow together is a heavy dose of emotion…..
Our home was the scene of ‘the family zoo’…..
Regrettably, I lost it……completely lost my equilibrium of ‘the good life’ and ’fell apart at the seams’……
‘The Family’ would not allow this luxury indulgence…..I became the target of ’fix it’….’suck it up’… ……or else!
Wonder where they learned that ‘hard hearted’ philosophy….
Our Carla won the family game….and got the coveted DVD Player as a result….Chad got the ‘losers’ prize….he needed ‘another’ Christmas tree in silver….
The moment of reckoning came…..we placed our ‘Marine’ in a chair in the center of our ‘Circle of Love’ as we call it….
Everyone laid hands on him and we each prayed over him in our own way….we claimed the promise of Matthew 18:19&20.…which says…and we believe….as Jesus is talking….”Also, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about something and pray for it, it will be done for you by My Father in Heaven. This is true because if two or three people come together IN MY NAME, I am there with them…”
Our faith came together in the prayer of agreement for the safety and protection of our United States Marine….Carlos Manuel Fernandez lll….
Please include him and all our troops in your prayers….….
Pipo and his fellow Marines leave early morning….ma.na.na
He goes to Arabic Language school first and then…..only God knows….but thank God…..He does!
Christmas was…..and is…..sacred….
…..yet a good time was had by all….and More To Come!
