Counting My Blessings

Nineteen stockings hung.  Not on the mantle at the condo, but on organized hooks at the cabin.  The first Christmas here, and it feels just right.  I am so very thankful for this warm and cozy home, and for these nineteen stockings which represent nineteen children and grandchildren.  I am so grateful that the presents we have purchased to put under the tree and in these nineteen stocking will have nineteen children and grandchildren to open them.  Sadness beyond belief that there are families that will have unopened gifts this year.....Jerilynn
