On the Twelfth day of Christmas, my
children gave to me...
BLESSINGS ABOUNDING
Just when you all thought I was going to leave you all hanging on the 11th day...
I honestly did not have any specific thing planned for the 12th day of our "First Annual Smith Family 12 Days of Christmas" as I did the others. As the days of celebration came and our family enjoyed so many wonderful moments together: nothing to do, nowhere to go, just time to spend as we wished, I was reminded that my family is one of the greatest gifts God has given me. The blessings of Christmas are bountiful, and for each one of them, I am thankful.
