Then I thought about what I really need. Not much at the moment. I realized what I enjoy most is the decorations and lights, I love to read the story of Jesus' birth. I also love the book, "The story of the other Wise man" by Leo Buscaglia. I had such plans when I was young, but the Lord led me down a different path. You could review it on your blog if you like. I'd enjoy reading your thoughts on it. : )Karen Kyle Ericsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519939237365240288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-75351234226825875742011-12-01T11:02:00.116-06:002011-12-01T11:02:00.116-06:00You have beautiful hopes for Christmas.
