Rejoice!! Rejoice!!
Christmas Time is Here
There is something about the Christmas season that brings out a side of us that wants to make the world pretty, perfect and peaceful, but in truth, in order to do this we have to go over, above and beyond our daily routines to make it happen. As I know many of us try and I also know this can cause stress, disappointment and upset. My grandchildren's mother, Holly, recently shared this story with me and I would like to share it with you hoping that it will help to put this wonderful and crazy time of year into perspective and perhaps gives us all a little nudge at such a busy time of year to remember that sometimes it's the simple smallest of gestures that can have the biggest impact!
As told to me by Holly:
"I was getting the kids out of the car, about to head into the grocery store. While doing this, I was trying to convince my 3 year old son, Harrison, to leave his balloon in the car so he wouldn't loss it in the store. As I was arguing my side, he let go of his balloon and up up up and away it went into the sky. Harrison was devastated and kept repeating through his sobbing, "my balloon is gone Mommy...will my balloon come back?" My heart was broken for him as he did not understand that his balloon was gone forever!
We went into the store and did our shopping. As we headed back to the car I couldn't believe what I was seeing, for there attached to a string, stuck under the windshield wiper was a balloon!! Harrison in a loud voice cries, "Look Mommy, My Balloon Came Back!!" This very thoughtful deed had such a heart warming impact on me and really made my son's day. The next morning when Harrison woke up and saw his balloon he couldn't wait to tell me the story about how his balloon came back to him."
