Cam1952, hope you recieved my pm about receiving you for a Ss for next month.
Val, sending hugs to you... this is just heartbreaking...I'm so sorry to hear of this crime that happen at your house, yet we all know there are folks ou there that are trying to take away others happiness and joy and to destroy whatever they can just for the fun of it..
In life there is learning and teaching opportunities and this is one of those times. One to learn that Christmas spirit is within her heart, not what is on the lawn. I feel sure you are teaching her this lesson.
May you still be able to find something that you can replace those decorations and have the excitement and be filled with the joy of Christmas in your house.
May Jule overcome this and chalk this up to learning more about Christmas and how it is in your heart
hope those that done wrong will find in thier heart of what they did and good still somehow win out.. May they face thier wrong doings and realize the saddness and damage they done.
you and your dh has to understand you did all you could and helped the police in finding out who did it.
I remember one crime one year where some bullies stole baby Jesus and torn up the manager scene...
We hear of things like this, but then when it hits home it hurts more.
Remembe the time someone broke into our house we were moving into and how they destroy things that had no meaning to no one but for us...
Yet I had to get to that point of forgiving them.. May you all find that in your hearts too.
May Julie and your household have a wonderful, blessed Christmas in spite of these bad boys.
