Reminder

that life here on earth can end in an instance, we are just here until God calls us home. We are all on borrowed time. You go about your lives like you have forever and then bam, you are reminded it could end. One of mom's cousins passed away on Sunday - he was only 50 years old, 50! -  My gosh how young and how tragic. It just happened... I pray for his wife and his boys and the rest of the family that they will find the peace to get through this and to get through the holiday season. I have no doubt in my mind that dad greeted him with a big smile and was handing him a beer.

So our annual Timmerding Christmas party was this past weekend - what a great time as always and as always it went by way too fast and I didn't get to talk to as many people as I wanted to. And the kids, oh my so many..many..kids. This was probably the first time in a long time I can honestly say there were one or two kids I didn't know who they were. THANK YOU to Aunt Mindy who painted some faces. I think she sat down to paint one of her girls' faces and then before she knew it a lined had formed :) But she did a great job, just look at Logan. He was so excited, he growled the whole way home and he did not want to take a bath. He LOVED it.

I hope everyone is doing well and is enjoying this holiday season. It can always get so crazy with the shopping and parties that we forget what it is really about and we are stressed to the max. Take the time to spend time thanking God for what he gave us, for your blessings and please take the time to spend with your loved ones. As we know, we are not guaranteed tomorrow, we are not even guaranteed today!

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love and happiness to all,
