Blessings of the Season

If there is something that I have felt over the past two weeks, it is loved. At the beginning of the semester it was hard not really having any friends around and being on my own. But now that is not the case. Over break the people and friends in my life have shown great amounts of love and generosity toward me. People of all kinds were inviting me to their family's houses or their house for Christmas. I finally had to make a choice about where to go. And it really wasn't a choice because Liana told me I was coming to her house to make a pumpkin pie. I have been to Liana and Drew's many times over break and they are quickly becoming good friends. My friends are great people. Katie had me over on New Year's Eve and she made supper for a bunch of us, and she wouldn't let us pay for anything. I finally got her to let me bring dessert. Katie is a very giving person. And it humbles me, a lot. I am truly blessed by those around me. I can only pray that in some way I am being a blessing to them. I can only hope that I am being the light of God in their lives. So this holiday season humbleness, love and blessings have been in abundance. I am hoping that all of you have felt the same things.
