Christmas This Year

I awoke early today and peered out of the window and saw the light of day. No snow came to visit our city. It promises to be a mild weather day for our citizens. I’ve been suffering a thorn on my side and invoking St Paul who had the same problem. I am sacrificing this pain for the intentions that I have. One intention that I wish would come true is the reconciliation with a relative. I spoke out against her years ago on Messenger and to this day she hasn’t responded to my apology. However, she never fails to send a check to my Dad and me during the holidays.

I hear she’s not well. It could be why she hasn’t responded. She could be bed-ridden and unable to get to the computer to write me back. I lost her cell phone number and that’s why I haven’t gotten to talk to her. To be honest, I feel guilty and shy in calling her.

I would like this Christmas Season to settle old fires with relatives. She’s the only relative that has a sad feeling about me. I’d hate it if I actually died this past year from a fall I suffered and took long to get back to normal. I don’t think God wants us to die with sin in our hearts because that would hamper our journey to Heaven. I certainly want to go to Heaven. Please pray for me that I reconcile with my relative.
