Have you been naughty or nice?

Alright Jared....HO! HO! HO!.....This year, have you been naughty or nice?

Santa, I'll tell you the truth....I've been a little bit of both. I'm a boy and I come with some naughtiness......however, I'm full of nice too!

(I'm watching where you put those white hands of yours! I'm a watcher....just like you!)

Jared, what do you want for Christmas, if I see on my list that you HAVE been a GOOD BOY?

Santa, all I want is to spread great Joy to everyone I meet.....can you give me that?

Why Jared, that is something that you already posess....how about something you would really love to have?

Thanks Santa.....but I already have all I want for Christmas this year!

The House that Love Built....

Hi readers of my newest blog.

This is our house that love built......lots of cherished memories here.

We are the Griffin's. We moved into this house when our first child, Jared, was born. He was our boy of special needs and we needed a home to bring him to because we lived in an apartment at the time of his birth. As I tended to him at the hospital where he was being taken care of, Jared's father went house-hunting and this is the home he found for us.

There is nothing half as pleasant as coming home again and again.

Home is where friendships are formed and families are grown; where joy is planted and shared and true love is known; where our memories are made and the seeds of life are sown.
