It is unfortunate that we are unable to attend the Christmas Eve service due to my work schedule, but I remember the year we did attend and A.J. was maybe two years old and she just wanted to play. I dislike the feelings I had in my heart at the time. I believe it is a Steven Curtis Chapman song where he says "Teach us to count the days, teach us to make the days count." We only get the day once, capture the moment. So many times I blow it. At times I never think that it is a privilege to be A. J.'s dad. It is. Thank you Julie. It is great knowing your family.A. H.

I can just see it -- yelling out "jingle bells"... and yes, I would feel the same as you did, but those moments are precious to have, and maybe even more precious because they were not appreciated as much at first, and then you find the hidden unexpected joy in your memory. This year - if the same thing happens - I know you'll appreciate anything that happens. As would I.

Thanks for the reminder to appreciate the here and now. <br /><br />Next time you find yourselves in the parking lot you should start up a rendition of "Jingle Bells" with all the other moms and kids. Then wait to see how many people inside come out to join you! <br /><br />I love your new header.<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you and yours!Chelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206643310723527648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583672216566631732.post-83735630526171727092010-12-22T12:29:48.919-07:002010-12-22T12:29:48.919-07:00It's So.

Even when you want to, even when you know you should, it's just to easy to get frustrated or aggravated. Thanks for the poignant reminder to keep trying, Julie. I wish you, John, and the boys the best Christmas Ever service yet, even if you end up in the parking lot. =>Staciahttp://myfluffybunnies.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583672216566631732.post-76062631642801508392010-12-22T11:55:57.792-07:002010-12-22T11:55:57.792-07:00i love your new header! i think it's always a ...i love your new header! i think it's always a struggle to find the line between living in the moment, and planning and looking forward to the future.Telahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063472234632679948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583672216566631732.post-13100886899215185512010-12-22T11:20:22.745-07:002010-12-22T11:20:22.745-07:00I would have reacted just as you did, Julie.

I have so much trouble focusing on the present moment and so much trouble seeing the upside in an aggravating situation. <br /><br />If you and Andrew do end up singing out "Jingle Bells" in the middle of "O Holy Night" this Friday, please make sure someone gets a photo you can post. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6583672216566631732.post-29755458396475391812010-12-22T11:01:47.371-07:002010-12-22T11:01:47.371-07:00So sweet Julie!

Wake up!" and then he kept shouting "ABCs!" cause he wanted them to sing the alphabet song. I'm glad to hear (I think) that things are going well. I really hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. XOKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635019886584767565noreply@blogger.com
