I remember, when I was little, standing outside on Christmas eve, staring up at the sky...just hoping that I would see the star. That same star the Wise men saw on His birth. I just knew once I saw it, that I would have found something or at least have a guide to where I was supposed to go. I had no clue which way was East...or how bright it would really be, sheesh I was just a kid. I figured I would just "know" when I saw it. I wasn't raised in a "religious" home. (Our outings to church were out of obligation, if we went at all. My parents, that I grew up with, were devout Atheists. If you can use devout in the same sentence...) At any rate, I am not sure where my Faith came from. It has always just been there...strong or weak at different points in my life.
Charlie just wanted to know what Christmas was about. That's all. And this, pretty much summed it up.
So the angel said to the shepherds, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord”
Luke 2:10

Well.....I may know where your 'faith' came from. As I prayed for you everyday of your life. Trying with every fiber of my being to somehow cause my prayers to find you....(what would I have done without the Holy Spirit...oi) Prayers were the only comfort I could find without you there with me all those years.....Merry Christmas Sweetie.
