What another blessed day we've had! Jimmy from Monroe's delivered us turkey dinners from the plant's catered lunch this afternoon. Then Don and Sandy shared a wonderful gift today. Their son, Vaughn and his girlfriend, Jenny are visiting from Austin, Texas and they all came over this afternoon to share their family with us. Sandy prepared a delicious dinner of spaghetti and meatballs and we all ate together. While they were here we got a little in-house concert and sing-along from Vaughn and Jenny. They played their guitars and sang some songs they've written as well as taking some requests of Christmas carols and Beatles songs. At one point the house was filled with friends and we were all singing together. What a wonderful thing. Our circumstance might cause some people to say that this is the worst holiday season, but because of a little perspective and the beautiful friends we have, it has been the best, most special Christmas ever! I hope that each of you can embrace the true meaning of Christmas and be thankful for family and friends. Don't wish for things that you don't have, just be thankful for everything God has already blessed you with! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Millers!
