Merry Christmas
/ Autumn McKenzie JacksonHappy Holidays
Take a moment to slow down and cherish a special time with special people. I have been hosting Christmas Eve dinner for a long time. This year I sent out a spur of the moment open invitation to friends. If they were around and had time- they were invited to come join us. I love to eat! I love to cook! I love to give and share! And what better time than now. In the midst of a season of high expectation, remember- It’s not about what you did or did not get.
While I was at my brother Darrell’s life celebration in NY, there was a windstorm in Maryland. I received a text from my neighbor that they were calling the police
I don’t know exactly when I realized that I was scheduled to work the same day Audrey and I were to fly to Orlando, Fl for National Club Swimming Association (NCSA) Age Group Championships.
As I prepared for my brother’s life celebration, I found out that I had no way to prepare for what I experienced. I already have the utmost admiration for my brother, still, over the course of one afternoon at West Point…
I am certain I did not understand the full significance of what he wrote then nor do I now, but I knew enough to hold onto his letters.
I tend not to be awestruck, but my older brother, Darrell, is an exception. He is my superhero.
Being mothered is a universal experience. It is a life long process.
I am grateful for all those who have touched my life and continue to invest in me in this way. God is intentional.. It is out of the abundance of His love through others that compels me.
