Miracles Do Happen

I've been working on my book today, and making phone calls for tomorrow, as I'm giving someone a ride to church tomorrow morning. I also called my daughter to invite her over to open presents. I left a voice message this morning, and she just called me back. She's coming for dinner, so is my younger grandson. I will have all my children here, not just my boys. There will be possibly seven people at my table. I'm glad I got a larger turkey. I am not going to tell my older son his sister is coming. Though I also don't want a bad scene either. I can't tell you how long it's been since we all ate a holiday meal together. I think they were children. My younger son works until 7, so I'm preparing for 7 tomorrow night for dinner. Now, I just need to pray this miracle turns out great. My heart is now in my throat, and I need to do some extra shopping, food shopping. I don't need much, which is good. I knew I didn't have a vegetable. I also need to pick something up for my grandson, as I didn't buy anything for him, as I wasn't expecting him. My head is spinning at the moment. I need to check my bank balance, as I am almost on E in my account and I need to make it to the third Wednesday of January. Have you had some exceptional news this holiday season? Thanks for reading.

One of my granddaughters, her husband, and their two children are going to make it for Christmas dinner which was a lovely surprise. We will have 16 or 17 for lunch. Unfortunately, two of my granddaughters are now living out of state and won't be here and my eldest son, wife and 2 children go to her family on Christmas but I will have plenty of company. I am so glad that your daughter and grandson will be there, that is wonderful news.

That is wonderful that your family can all be together for the holiday tomorrow night. I hope that your "surprise" works out for the best!

You and me both, since my older two don't get along with each other. So, I hope it's still wonderful when the night is over and I'm not in tears.

@just4him Valerie, I don't know if this "surprise" is the best idea. You might want to try to spend the day talking them into it instead of having them all storming out.

@NJChicaa That's my greatest fear. If I tell my oldest his sister is going to be here, he simply won't come. I'm praying for a good dinner. She does know he's going to be there, so there is some hope. She knew that when she said she would come for dinner.

Do you mean that your daughter and your son do not speak each other? Let's hope in a Christmas miracle, good luck.

Yes, that's what I mean. The last time we were all together was at my daughter's wedding reception five years ago. They got along then, which I think was for the benefit of their father, also in attendance and my parents, so I'm hoping they do today as well.

@bunnybon7 I know this is from God, so I'm expecting good things. I picked up a little more food on the way home from church, stopping at Aldi, so I'm ready. Now I just need to cook it.

Hope the miracle comes true. It's always a pleasure to have family unions. We always have it once in a month as we all live in a building and have a meal together on occasions like birthdays, wedding anniversaries.

You're a good person. I'm waiting to hear back from two people to give me a ride for Christmas Eve service, both morning and evening. I did get good news on Venom yesterday to end the week and the month on a high note. I'll post it real soon.

@just4him Yep I got a call while I was in the shower. I don't know about tonight's service. But I'll find out when I get there in an hour. Yeah it is! After a few Rs and CNRs this month, what a way to top it off!
