Merry Christmas 2014!
Twas the night before New Years and all through our house,
There was peace and rejoicing, for me and my spouse.
The children were tucked all snug in their beds,
While visions of happiness danced in their heads.
I had thought through this past year and saw good and bad,
Some hard times of sadness, and the miracles we had.
Our measures of progress were scarce to appear,
Our lives looked the same to those we call dear.
But if you could open and see in our hearts
They now are fast made with much stronger parts.
We learned from our garden that God has a plan.
His cycles teach patience to impatient man.
Bright Kate found her dream to teach others truth
through music and stage about Esther (and Ruth?)
Good Cassidy has served her family in love.
Our expectations she exceeds beyond and above.
Boy Wyatt has grown to love working with Dad.
Also reading, eating, and flying are times to be had.
Joy! Mille has taught us to always keep trying,
Though sometimes life's hard and we find ourselves crying.
Estella Jane's walking and smiles remind
that her health is a miracle from a Father, kind.
At Crossfit we're given the chance to grow muscle
that helps us at home and when life is a bustle.
But greatest blessing this year that I can recall
Is Christ's Atonement to lift us each time we fall.
Jesus came into our home through scripture and prayer
Our lives are changed for we felt him there.
May this new year for you bring a blessing so sweet.
Although the joy comes after tears at His feet.
