Holidays are special to me, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. I think long and hard about how many great Christmases I have had. I have really been blessed by having loving parents during my formative years and now a loving wife, four children and three grandchildren.

My wife and I worked hard over the years establishing our family unit. Yes, we have had some difficult times and there have been times when even the smallest problem seemed larger than life, but we have endured because of our faith and trust in God and we have tried to pass this on to our children.

All of my life I have categorized the holidays as a tremendous family time for sharing and being together. Over the years I have seen far too many people that hated to see the holidays come because of family problems and the uneasiness of being around supposed loved ones.

For the full devotional and a list of houses of worship in Ouachita Parish, see Page 13A of this week's Citizen.
