Dear Melvin and VaLoy Porter Family:
This is the
time of year when I think of you and the rest of my family. I long for the Christmases we had at Daddy
and Mother’s home in Smoot. All of you
came with your parents, and we had a grand time. I hope you tell your children about those
Christmas parties, and the joy those parties brought into our lives, and all
the wonderful food we had.
The noise
level on those evenings rang through the roof top, and sometimes we could only
hear the person next to us, but we seemed to get everything that was being
said. Now that I am older, I wonder how
Daddy and Mother took the noise. They
never seemed to mind, but I am sure when we all left, they collapsed in their
beds and prayed for a good night’s sleep.
I would like to have a video of those Christmas parties.
My memories
of those Christmas Eve Parties are very vivid, and I hope that someday we can
all meet in the heavens and be worthy to be a part of God’s great plan of
happiness. I can see us all together,
and the walls are ringing with joy and love.
We will
wrap our arms around each other and feel of God’s greatness and glory, and if
we are worthy, we will be there and be part of all that grandeur.
Our Savior’s
arms are always outstretched for us, and I can hear Him say, “Come Unto
Me.” He is the one who will take us home
to our Heavenly Father. We must not fail
Him. We must not fail ourselves, and we
must not fail our family.
I pray that
this Christmas we will all have the SPIRIT
OF CHRISTMAS in our homes, and that we will give praise and honor to Him
who came into this world to help us back home where we belong. I pray that your family will be blessed, and
that the Savior’s love will abide with you always.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND
A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
All my love,
