The year has flown by and now it's time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I hope we all remember the reason for the Holidays which of course is God giving us the hope of ever lasting life through his Son, and we celebrate this incredible blessing in one fashion and that is by giving gifts. I hope everyone enjoys the gifts we given and we in turn appreciate the gifts and blessings we have received. I hope all the horses all over the world enjoy the gift of respect and a fair life.
But the Christmas we get caught up in sometimes, the spending and the shopping reminds me of a little story. It's about an old couple, married for 50 years, who rarely went into town but drove into town they did so the wife could do some Christmas shopping for the children and grandchildren. The husband, as you can imagine, was less than pleased with the whole arrangement.
Soon in the packed shopping center the wife lost track of her husband and after a couple hours became frantic as she could not find him. Then she remembered that the children have given them cell phones. So she calls her husband's phone and was relieved to hear him answer. "Where are you?" she say's, "I've been looking for you for several hours now!"
The husband replies "Well, do you remember the Jewelry store where you saw that necklace you so dearly wanted 30 years, but I couldn't afford it then?"
As her eyes started to tear up the wife softly says "Yes,...yes I do dear." And the husband replies, "Well, I'm in the bar next door."
Merry Christmas and a Safe Journey into 2014.
