Christmas Poem 2019...



JOY
“Does this spark joy?” is a phase we often hear
Joy... “a feeling of great happiness” that may bring a tear.
“Scoop up all the joy” my brother once said to me
Joyful, happy moments with our family is always a guarantee.
Tim the woodworker tried his hand at turning bowls
Sharing them with friends and family was the goal.
Tim the attorney helps many families with what they are going through
He is an expert and shows love and compassion too.
Tim the neighbor is often found fixing what’s broke
Or building a staircase for some very happy folks.
Eileen is in her happy place when the grandchildren are close by
They are growing up too fast… big sigh!
She was recently honored for making a difference at school
It’s a pleasure to work with teachers and staff that are so cool!

Reading, sewing, family history, serving, and more 
That’s what you do when you have “spare time” galore!  
Our sons, daughter, and grandsons fill our lives with endless love
So much gratitude fills our hearts, they are gifts from above.
Cash, Colby, Grey, and Grahm come to play almost every Friday
And we just wouldn’t want it any other way
Our thoughts turn to the Savior this time of year
He is the source of enduring joy so we have no
need to fear.

“Without Christ, there would be no Christmas.
Without Christ, there can be no fullness of joy.
Without His birth and His Atonement,
we would have no intercessor,
no Advocate with the Father,
and no Mediator who makes it
possible for us to return to the presence
our loving Heavenly Father
and live together as eternal families.”


May all of your days be filled with the joy of Christmas!

With love,
Tim and Eileen
