My first Christmas in 46 years without Marsha. We had a wonderful night last night. We went to church and out to dinner. After dinner we went to homes and neighborhoods with elaborate light displays ending at one that used four homes in a radio orchestrated light display to music that was beautiful, The owners use this to collect money for The Make A Wish Foundation. It was a wonderful Christmas Eve. We sang songs in the car from a Christmas collection Merrie has in her Ipod with some from Sandi Patty. Well some of us sang songs anyway.This morning in prayer I couldn't help but think of Marsha. I can see her running around with all the last minute details running through her head. The joy must be overwhelming her. Can you imagine Marsha with her love for making this the greatest day ever being invited to the birthday party of the King of Kings in person and without any reigns attached to what she can do. And imagine the celebration she is part of today if we in our weakness celebrate with such abandon that the economy depends on it, how much more amazing the celebration in heaven. That big smile of her face holding hands maybe with Kathy Lynch and singing to JJ at the top of her lungs Happy Birthday to you, tears of joy streaming down her glorious face. I love you honey, have the best day ever.
