December 18, fifteen years ago, this darling little girl came into our lives. She has been a joy to us. She is a very good girl with goals and aspirations. She excels in school and LOVES to read. She plays the piano beautifully and is our ward organist for church. She enjoys cooking and laughing.
We brought her home from the hospital, December 23, 1995, in this stocking.
Here she is on her birthday. She is a beautiful young lady. Love you, Savannie!!
I know the Grinch's problem was that his heart was 2 sizes too small, but what I love about this have-to-watch- show -every -Christmas -season--now for 44 years, is that his heart CHANGES. He goes from spoiling the fun to... being "the fun". I wonder what Christmas would be like, what our families would be like, what our towns and country would be like, goodness, what the world would be like, if we all had a CHANGE of heart ?! If we decided to be kinder, happier, and more giving and forgiving. If our focus changed from taking to giving, from self to others... Perhaps the word Grinch would have a new definition!!
"Maybe Christmas,"
he thought,
"doesn't come from a store."
"doesn't come from a store."
"Maybe
Christmas...
perhaps...
means a little bit more!"
And what happened then...?
Well...in Who-ville they say
That the Grinch's small heart
Grew three sizes that day!
Here's hoping for really big hearts this Christmas season...and always!!
Be Nice to People,
Julie

Love that quote - I used it on my blog recently too. Dr. Seuss had many good ones. Even though I never liked the LOOKS of his cartoon characeters, I loved his messages.
Wishing you and yours a very blessed Christmas! Hugs
Love your post today - Merry Christmas!
