Dear Tyler,

Hi my sweet son! How are you doing on this Wednesday afternoon? Mom, surprisingly is having a pretty good day! I went to bed around 12 midnight & was up at 7 am. I didn't get much sleep but I am in a pretty good mood just the same! Mark did not get home last night until after 11 pm. Mom had a quiet night with the pups. It was nice. I had the Christmas tree lights on, candles going, the fire place on & I watched a couple of shows on TV & then watched a movie. Mom even had a couple glasses of wine. It was very relaxing for sure. I actually enjoyed the time. Mom doesn't say that ever at all but I am starting to enjoy it, maybe a little bit. Not all the time but every once in awhile. Grandpa called me as well. We chatted for about 20 minutes. Things are good on his end. Him & Debbie are out today doing the rest of their shopping. He is anxious to see us in a few days! I thought Meme might call but she didn't. 
 Today, Mom has absolutely done really nothing at all as far as studying. Housework & laundry are both done for the week. I won't have to do any until we get back home on Tuesday morning. I guess when Mom was getting ready, Meme called me & I didn't even hear the phone ring. I will have to call her tonight. Aunt Beck called as well & we chatted for a little bit. She was telling me that Forrest has been visiting for the last couple of days. Mom is going to go meet him the next time he is at Aunt Beck's. I am thinking of having a reading done face to face as well plus gift Meme one too. I think she will like that very much. I hope that you will come through again when I do it. I guess it will be in the Spring. Gives me time to save the money & collect the questions that I want to ask this time. Mom is trying to touch base with Bean so that I can see her sometime this weekend. I am hoping that everything will work out but according to Aunt Beck it is suppose to snow Christmas Eve night & all day on Christmas. That will definitely put a damper on things if that happens. Mom is just going to wait & see. Mom will definitely keep you posted as to what will be happening when I know of things.
 Tonight Mark & Mom will be having our Christmas between us. We don't get the chance to do it on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day because we are always the ones traveling up North. We will have dinner, then finally we are going to actually decorate our gingerbread house & then we will have our time to exchange gifts. Mom will let you know what I got on tomorrows letter to you. I am sure somewhere later we will watch a movie & then head to bed as tomorrow morning Mark will have to work & will be quite busy all day long. Friday we will be packing the Rogue to get it all set to head up North in the morning. Friday night will also just be a relaxing evening & going to bed early! Mom will keep you posted on everything though! That is all I have for now.
 Mom is hoping that you will have a wonderful night tonight doing all the things you may want to do & may need to do. Come visit me if you can in my dreams or come be with me while I am sleeping. Either or both ways will be so sweet. Mom is hoping that I will also get the chance to see the stars & moon tonight shining bright. I did not see anything last night but I did see a nice sunrise this morning. Mom misses your paintings in the sky. I miss you terribly all the time. I did have a cry today when I was thinking of you. It happens from time to time. Mom can't help it. I won't deny myself the time to still be sad & grieve the loss of you. I love you to the moon & back & all the way around the world. To infinity & beyond. You are my hero & the wind beneath my wings. You will always be in my heart, mind, body & soul my sweet precious son. Mom will whisper to you later tonight as I always do. Smile & I will smile back to you.
 Here is the saying for the day:
  You attract into your life a reflection of what you think. But you also attract into your life what you judge. If you think people are dishonest, you attract dishonest people. If your focused on a sickness or disease, you attract more. If you focus on poverty or lack, you gain nothing more than an empty bank account. Everything you hold in your conscious thought becomes your cage & your reality. See abundance, see honesty in all, embrace good! 
 Well, Tyler, Mom must be going for now. It is 4:24 pm & mom still needs to do a few things before everything takes place tonight. I will be back tomorrow with another letter to you though. Until then..... good night & sweet dreams. I love you my bright shining star.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

P.S. Here are you daily prayers for the day:
  May you refuse to let your emotions dictate your perspective. You have Jesus. You have His presence. And you have His promises! When what your eyes see is different than what your heart deeply desires, look up and pray. He invites you to walk with Him, talk with Him, and involve Him in every detail of your life. If you're in the 'not-yet' season, take time to worship God because He's God; take time to thank Him too, because He's been good. And dare to ask for the impossible, because He's a wonder-working God. Your story is not over yet. Have a heart-at-rest kind of day. God bless you!

And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns (Philippians 1:6 NLT).

 May you divinely discern the difference between holy conviction and unholy condemnation. May you walk wisely without walking in fear. May you guard your heart without walling it off and shutting it down. May you refuse the enemy's attempts to bait you into sin and captivity. May you learn to live freely, wisely, and full of faith with each new day. You are a royal ambassador of the Most High God. May God's richest blessings be yours tonight!

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1 NIV).
