Secret Santa

It Began As Early As The First Week Of November. Christmas Movies On Hallmark, Lifetime Network As Well As Other Stations. Some Movies Are All Of The Classics We Remember While Growing Up. Others Are New To Us. However Each One Tells A Different Story.
Tonight A Christmas Movie Called Secret Santa. A Young Lady Named Jennifer Began Receiving A Christmas Card With No Post Mark. The Postman Knew Nothing Of It. Through Her Investigations Of Who Was Sending These Cards In Her Mailbox, It Turns Out To Be From A Special Childhood Friend Who Passed Away Three Years Prior. His Name Was Jack. How Could This Be? Travel Through Time As In A Quantum Leap. They Began Exchanging Cards With Touching Words Of Fondness And Love. She Knew This Would Soon End When Christmas Arrived, For This Was The Anniversary Of His Death. As Children They Would Stand At The Well And Drop A Coin And Make A Special Wish Before It Hit The Water.
When She Realized What Date It Was She Warned Him Not To Leave That Day For Anything. If He Honored Her Request He Would Stay Alive And Life Would Be Changed Forever. When Her Card Was Not Picked Up She Feared She Was Too Late. She Ran To The Well And Wished To Save Him From Death. She Jumped In The Car, Destination Unknown. A Car Accident Sends Jennifer To The Hospital. She Wakes Up On Christmas Day With Jack At Her Bedside. At That Moment Tears Began Rolling Down My Cheeks. It's December, A Month I Dread Each Year. It Had Always Been The Month Filled With Happiness And Joy. If I Was Fortunate Enough To Have Bobby Sit Beside Me Tonight, He Would Tell Me Not To Be Sad. For Almost Three Years I Have Considered December The Month Of Mourning. Instead Of Being Sad Like Bobby Would Not Want For Me, My Heart Breaks. I Have This Over Whelming Feeling Of Emptiness. I Feel Lost. I Feel Like My Heart Has Been Broken. I'm Afraid My Life Cannot Move Forward. Even Though Weeks Have Turned Into Months And Months Into Years, It Still Feels Like Yesterday. Oh Yes I Can Put On That Happy Face And Go Through All The Motions Of Life. However I Feel I Am Only Existing In Time. I Have Had My Share Of Sadness But I Feel There Is More.
I Am A Believer Of The "Bigger Picture". We All Have A Mission In Life. Our Lives With All It's Twist And Turns Sends Us To Set Out And Accomplish. I Believe There Are Many Who Do Not Fulfill Their Mission Of Life. Many Do Fulfill Without Ever Knowing They Did. It May Have Never Been About You In The First Place. We All Are In Existence For A Reason. It May Be To Influence Someone Else. It Could Be A Family Member, A Friend, Neighbor Or A Complete Stranger. Remember Hearing About Angels On Earth? Maybe Your Only Mission Of Your Being Was To Save Someone From Harm.
This Is Why I Must Continue To Look For That Bigger Picture Of Life. I Am Quite Certain God Didn't Intend To Continue Bringing Me A Lifetime Of Sadness, Or Die With A Broken Heart. There Is More To Come. I Haven't A Clue What It Is. So Through My Footsteps Of Life Maybe Joy Will Once Again Appear. I Have Been Spending A Lot Of My Time At The Bowling Alley. Will I Touch Someone There? Will I Be Touched? Maybe Through Giving To Those Living In Poverty. Not So Sure That Can Be Because It's A Never Ending Feeling To Help Someone Who Needs You. I Have Been Deeply Touched By So Many People From All Walks Of Life. So What Can It Be? Have You Ever Wondered What Your Purpose Is? You Do Believe You Have One Don't You? As The Movie Ended The Tears Continued. My Dog Cassie Came Over To Me And Put Her Head On My Leg. She Comforted Me When I Needed A Friend. It Made Me Smile. You Wanna Know Why It Made Me Smile? Because Cassie Is Here For Me. She Came To Me Shortly After Bobby Passed Away. My Sister In Law Called Me One Day And Told Me She Saw An Ad Looking For A Home For A Pug. She Thought Of Me. Ok, Now Evelyn Played A Part Of Her Mission In Life By Placing This Wonderful Dog Into My Life. Cassie Had Been In A Crate For 12 Hours A Day. Her Owner Could Not Give Her The Life She Deserved. She Just Worked Too Many Hours A Day. It Gave New Hope For Cassie And A Loving Companion For Me In My Darkest Moments. I Believe We All Need To Evaluate Our Lives And Try To Determine What Our Bigger Picture May Be. I Continue To Wait For Further Instructions For The Direction I Am Suppose To Make. I Believe The Average Person Has Many Missions In Life. Some Missions May Serve No Meaning Or Purpose. Yet Everything Happens For A Reason. We May Not Understand It At The Moment, But Sometime Along The Way It Will Become Clear.
I Suppose In Between My Missions I Have A Special Buddy Sent From Heaven, From Bobby To Comfort Me When I'm Lonely And Feeling Empty.
I Remember My Grandmother Telling Me One Day When She Was Past 90 Years Old. She Said Greg I'm Not Sure Why I'm Still Hanging Around. I'm Old And I Ache At Times. I Asked Her If Life Was Good. She Said It Was. I Told Her There Must Be More Work For Her. Why Would God Leave You Just Hanging Around If There Was No Purpose? I Believe The Lord Brings Us Home When Our Mission Is Complete.
