I was blessed to spend Christmas with my parents again this year – and both of my brothers.  I enjoy when I get quality time with those I love.

One special memory from this Christmas was the bonfire my dad started for me.  I had gone outside to help him burn some cardboard.  When we were almost done with that task, my dad offered to start a bonfire (which was possible due to a lack of snow).  It took 3 tries, but the fire finally got going – a few marshmallows later (and a few shivers – it was chilly outside) I went back inside with a big smile on my face.

Special memories like this are treasures.  Something that money can’t buy.  God has blessed me in great measure.
