A Day In My Life

Christmas is so awesome! A time set aside to celebrate the the miraculous virgin birth of our Lord and Savior. A time to for introspection A time for appreciation A time for admiration No one else loved us the way Jesus Christ did/does To take off His divine And to put on humanity while still being GOD It is a delicious mystery One that entangles the mind But releases it almost simultaneously When His peace covers one's being The Bible gives us an account of what happened Faith believes it did Not as an old wives tale but as truth because He is GOD and we are not I would rather put my faith in what GOD said He did All in the name of Love Than a fabled tale Known to not be true Flying Reindeer???

Before you I didn't know about a Tangeroo Before you I could have never loved a Myon Before you I didn't really know what strength was Before you I didn't know sound could hurt Before you I didn't know how much I missed little hugs Or how delightful kissing little chunky feet could be Before you I thought I understood a great many things Who knew airplane take-off was the best part of a trip That calendars look better with purple circles on it That cartoons could be so much fun That the floor was for more than walking It gives perspective While letting one know where they fit in a room Before you I didn't know so much could be said Without saying a thing I admire you I think you are the cat's meow I love you I am glad you are with me Soon you will be taller than me But I will always remember your 'little' It's mine My gift -Souljourner

Your eyes are so wide Bright with joyful expectation Your smile always shows a certain type of charm Devilishly delightful The promise of manhood Growing steadily by the day No longer momma's little man Pleasantly surprised I am When your world becomes a little clearer No longer are you my puzzle I know you are different And so do you I think Or maybe we are the different ones I dunno I just love your zest for life Your earned contentment I enjoy our conversations Understanding is never the goal Companionship and closeness Is beautiful No matter what you are or are not You are mine And I love you With all that I am -Souljourner

So the other week starts off with its normal Monday morning fury. Nate has clinic visits downtown, Myles has to get to school and Mr. Howard off to work. I thought I was going to have a pretty quiet week and was looking forward to some serious down time. Of course that didn't happen and in the immortal words of C.Brown "Good Grief" was about all I could muster. Let me quickly chronicle my week for you: Monday: Downtown Clinic visit (wellness checkup) for Nathan Van inadvertently gets parked thru valet service with Nathan still in the back seat Panic sets in  All ends well Praise GOD I need a nap (smile) Tuesday: Myles has a eligibility meeting of some sort Performance scores are reviewed Deficits are discussed Guess what he is still autistic....whoodathunkit? Nathan has accident at school I did manage to get an oil change  squeezed lunch in for myself around 1 or so Wednesday: QuickBooks Training for volunteer work  Totally forgot about it Still d...
