A Smoky Mountain HI

Here is a journey I make each day. Time flows on this side of eternity. I have aged as gracefully as reasonable as can be be expected, and yet feel not a day older in my mind. As I begin a life in the Smoky Mountains I hope you will share my journey as well. www.kleincabin.com

It is Christmas Eve and all through your house, your family is blessed not only in in some ways; but in most ways. It is the time of year when children dream with expectation and parents wonder if they have done enough or a least the best they can. It is a time for presents to one another yet knowing the great best gift was Christ Himself. It is the time of year where families tolerate one another and often learn the value in family members they have not seen in a long while.
You were a gift from God for your generation and your children to you for theirs. It is the time of shared happiness and shared memories cherished even begrudgingly at times. Christmas Eve is the fulfillment of God’s promise of a Savior for our world. Some do not believe but all recognize the “specialness” of this day. Chance, has little to do with our lives. It would be like a twister blowing through a junk yard and leaving behind a laser printer… or a tornado blowing through an aluminum mine and then an iron mind and leaving a Jumbo 747 jet behind with a Mercedes in the cargo bay.
No, it is not chance world we live in; it was planned for you, for your success, and for you to be blessed. Now the choice is up to you. The Christ child brings you that special opportunity to see God as a friend and a Father rather than as judge and jury of your earthy journey. 
The choice for your Happiness is at your grasp and joy unspeakable lies in a manger awaiting your knee to bow down as the wise men of world did with happiness and joy.
Merry Christmas you and to all of your world.
Richard and Carol Klein and Moose :):)
