Here is a great family-oriented activity I found on Pinterest, and so easy to do. Find a large jar and create a label for it that says something like Blessings and Memories Jar for 2013. Then all through the year jot down blessings and memories that you want to remember and put them into the jar. Be sure and include the date or range of dates. On New Year’s Eve, dump out all of the memories and read them
If you are reading this today, on Christmas Eve, you probably have more time on your hands than many who are scrambling to get everything ready for a big family get-together. Chances are you are one of many who may, for one reason or another, be separated from family members who you would like to be with at this special time of the year. I share your disappointment as my mother and siblings are 550 miles to the west
