In our
household Christmas Day isn’t just about celebrating Jesus Christ Birth it’s
about the birth of Lucinda Douglas and Tony A. Haynes. Yes, I put their names
out there and it is for a valid reason. When my grandmother passed it never
registered she was gone until that casket closed. It never registered to me my
uncle was gone until that casket closed. It’s the affirmations of reality. It
just cannot get any realer than that. On Christmas Day we were missing some
valuable people in the family and it just so happened to not only be them. When
there is a lost as big as these we tend to forget the reasons for the cookouts,
the girls night out, the Sunday dinners, and the huge holiday celebrations. It
is about family, holding the family together. Not about feelings or how we feel
about them not being there to celebrate. We are suppose to STOP being so
SELFISH and think of being with family even if it is one day out of the year.
STOP BEING SELFISH it is not about YOU at all but THEM. Family is going to family whether we like it,
love it or hate it. Get over yourself and thing of others. The reason for the
season is giving. Get out of yourself for one day and sacrifice all that crying
and moping for when you are at home and alone. Stop trying to not face the fact
that they are not physically here anymore. Stop trying to save yourself and
deal with it. If you cannot deal with on your own seek the Lord first and then
seek your family. The same people who have been there for YOU for so many
years. The same people who have accepted you for who you are and loved you in
spite of what you have done or still do. Come out of that shell and pray for
guidance.
This is
my story and I’m sticking to it.

Are hands are lifted in the name of Jesus. These same hands pray for you and
these same hands support you even when you don’t want to be supported. Remember
that.
