Remember the Little People

Tonight on Christmas Eve most of you were able to be with the ones you love. Our house was full of happiness my two little girls were so excited. Dressed in their angelic velvet dresses, they were beautiful. My mother in law and my dad and I had some laughs sitting by the Christmas tree sipping wine. It was almost a perfect picture... what was missing? My rescue hero husband had to work tonight.

This is the choice he made when he chose his career I know but that doesn't mean it's easy. Tonight when you sat down to celebrate with your family did you take the time to say thank you for all the men and women who aren't with their family so you can be safe? Did you pray that they will be able to answer their calls to duty swiftly and safely. Did you hope that they would get to be with their children and loved ones in morning?

Tonight at church we thought about the poor. We thought about families, friends, neighbors, and global communities. Silently I added my prayers for our protectors. Paramedics, Fire fighters and police officers. For our soldiers near and far.

I love my rescue hero and with this I wish to thank him and every other hero out there who is brave enough to put their life on the line everyday so that mine might be saved.
