Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? It is 5 pm already and Mom just got done feeding the pups and getting dinner prepped for Mark and I. I decided to write to you while it was cooking. Mom is so sorry about the letter that I wrote you last night. Mom was just not thinking clearly and my head was pounding from all the emotional stress that the last 2 days brought. I am doing much better today though. I am still really tired because I did not get any sleep last night really as I was up at least once every hour. I got up at 7 am to feed the pups but Mark beat me to it. I lounged in bed for a couple hours and then decided to get up and get ready so that I didn't have to rush and I could take my time. I was showered and ready, bed made, etc by 10 am and I still had over an hour left before I had to go to my nail appointment. That was really nice. Went to that appointment and then grocery shopping and then to a store so that Mark could use his gift card from Christmas. He got himself a watch and he bought me a bracelet. It is really pretty. we got home around 3 pm, Mom put everything away and then made a couple phone calls that were needed and then called Meme. we got to chat for a few minutes. Mark is watching football right now. The wild card games have gone as follows: Colts won the Texans 21-7, Cowboys won the Seahawks 24-22, Chargers won the Ravens 23-17 and now the Bears are playing the Eagles. They all have been really good games. They are playing hard! Next week the Patriots play the Chargers while the Cowboys play Saints. In my opinion Mom thinks the Cowboys have no chance in beating the Saints but I will pray and count my lucky stars that they can win it! Next week will tell! Stay tuned...lol!
 Lat night Mom typed your letter from her iPad and I was snuggled on the couch while doing so. It was really nice because I was comfortable and I was relaxed. I liked writing to you on that because Mom can put emojis on your letters where I can not when I am typing to you on my PC. I think that I will write to you after dinner each night from now on starting tomorrow evening. Also, last night and really all day yesterday and today Mark and Mom have been doing a lot of talking. It has been a good thing. We are going to make some serious changes with our marriage to make it stronger and better. Please be with us while we work on it. Thank you my sweet precious son. I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You are my true superhero and the wind beneath my wings. I will forever hold you inside my heart, mind, body and soul and that is where you live and remain. Mom is hoping that tonight you have fun while I sleep and get some much needed rest for tomorrow. I am up early and I will be tackling my exam with all those formulas. Be with me because Mom is going to need it, Tyler....lol. Thank you. Mark will be busy at work as well. Come visit Mom if you can tonight. I would love to see you in my dreams if you can. I will be back tomorrow evening with another letter. Mom will have to figure out how to get the prayers if I am writing to you on my iPad but I will figure that out tomorrow. Mom needs to get going for now because dinner is needing my attention. Mom will whisper to you later this evening and I will light the candle in a bit. Until tomorrow comes.... good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the pray for the day:

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him.” Matthew 2:1–2, RSV

Lord our God, we thank you that you have come to this earth. Let a light shine out again and again among those who hear your gospel, also among those with sincere hearts, whether or not they are Christians. May they come to know your light and receive salvation in Jesus Christ. May your light shine for us and may you appear to us ever more clearly. Remember all who call to you. Remember your people. May your people gather and become a light in your name, serving you wherever they go. Amen.
