The Holiday Season is a time of family togetherness. The kids are out of school, Mom is out of get-up-and-go, Dad is out of work. We gather around the cozy fireplace. We sip hot chocolate. We sing “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Jingle Bells”. Then I read aloud from something that captures the Holiday Spirit.Read which provisions O'Rourke is particularly thankful for here.
Usually it might be “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens,” or “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” by Dr. Seuss or the poem by Clemet Clarke Moore, “A Visit from St. Nicholas.”
But this year it’s “HOUSE AMENDMENT TO THE SENATE AMENDMENT TO H.R. 83 Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015,” otherwise known as the $1.1 trillion budget bill.
We’re only on page 105 out of 1,603 pages, so the budget will keep the kids tickled with joy and on the edge of their seats through New Year’s, if not the 4th of July.
This blog is looking for wisdom, to have and to share. It is also looking for other rare character traits like good humor, courage, and honor. It is not an easy road, because all of us fall short. But God is love, forgiveness and grace. Those who believe in Him and repent of their sins have the promise of His Holy Spirit to guide us and show us the Way.
