Christmas Day 2003 - redux

I have pictures to remind me of the joyous occasion. I will be able to look back and smile at the wonderful holiday dinner we had this year. And then a really nice thing happened today. Bobbie Masker, Jamie’s wife, sent a note with a picture of her and the family. She thanked us for being so kind to Jamie. Apparently he called her to let her know about his outing and how much fun he had. That makes my heart happy. Even if we never see any of these people again, it was a holiday to remember. Master remarked that it was one of the best He’s had since He’s been here. He said it was because we didn’t do it as a pay back to other social obligations, and we didn’t do it because we expected anything in return. We did it because we wanted to share the day with others. I think He is right on both counts. For me, yesterday was second only to being home with my family.
