This picture shows the Joy my sister Kathy had not only at Christmas but every day.
Christmas 2010 could be viewed as bitter sweet. While it was Kathy's last Christmas here with us on earth, it was also a joyous Christmas for Kathy and those around her. Christmas Eve started out with singing in the church choir. She loved to use her beautiful voice to worship and celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior. Her family finished the evening with dinner, opening gifts and a friendly board-game competition. I still recall the joy in Kathy's voice when she told me our Aunt Irene (Kathy's Godmother)would be joining her family that night.
As you all dive into your Christmas celebration may you remember to focus on the Joy of the season.
Whether you're with family, friends or even by yourself, I pray you find Joy knowing that Jesus was born on Christmas for YOU.
Because of Kathy's Joy,
I find Joy in making Kathy's bags.
Wishing you all a very
Merry Christmas.
and a Joyous New Year!
