I cannot think of anything more inviting than the warm feeling that comes from walking into a home decorated with signs of the season. Seeing the tree perfectly trimmed and wreaths hanging in all the right places makes me want to curl up in a comfy chair and read the Christmas story or watch It’s a Wonderful Life. LaLainya Rennpherd of Amboy, Minnesota shares my love for Christmas decorating. A wife and mother of three adorable girls, LaLainya and her husband Dave celebrate the season with many family traditions. Their home is warm and cheerful and full of holiday spirit. Think Christmas with the Rennpherd family on page 40. This month’s from the heart story brings tears to my eyes and pulls on my heart. Several years ago, Dan and Tammy Becker lost their infant son, Chase. Tammy now helps other parents through the devastating loss of a child with her involvement in Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. This organization assists families that are experiencing the death of a child with the gift of portraiture. While little Chase isn’t here on earth, his life is valid and he is always remembered. Tammy has a deep, unending love for her son. Read their story on page 58. Sitting in my living room, surrounded by evergreen and twinkling lights of the season, I think about all the things in my life I am thankful for. Reflecting over the past year, I am more grateful than ever for my family – for their presence in my life and for their constant love. From the comfort of my home to yours, I want to wish you a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year!
