When Santa arrived, Matthew sat on Santas lap for the rest of the ev
19、ening. We took many pictures with them.None of us knew how precious those photos for Santa and Matthew. Five days after Christmas, Matthew died in an accident at home.

20、raise our spirits. We were just finishing dinner when we heard a knock on the front door. When we went to answer it, no one was there. However, there was a card and gift.

21、ime by cheering us up.In the gift bag was a cassette of favourite Christmas music. We thought that it was a very clever gift, and it touched our hearts.

25、ay in 1988.B People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expected. They have come to help you through a difficulty, to
26、 provide you with advice and support. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. What we must realize is that our need has been
27、met, and their work is done. And now it is time to move on. When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you lots
28、of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon trust and love.
