WOW

How did an entire week go by?

Quick little update on Matt, my pastor - just in case you haven't been following along on the web site. He was moved to rehab on Thursday and hopefully will only be there for a week or two. Tonight...he is out on a "pass", having dinner and a movie with his wife! What wonderful news!
No word on the pathology report yet, keep praying.

One of my highlights this week was having a friend over to watch the movie, The Nativity. This friend is a new Christian and she knew basically zero about the story of Jesus' conception and birth. What fun it was to be part of the new excitement as she learns more and more about her Savior!

The countdown has started! Ten days until Adam and Thien arrive for their holiday visit! I am working on menu's and getting things ready. Christmas shopping was completed today (with the exception of two small items) and wrapping will begin tomorrow. The cards are all ready to stamp and put in the mail on Monday. This really is the most wonderful time of the year!

Amidst all the hustle and bustle, decking the halls, and jingle bells, I just have to stop and thank God for all the wonderful things He has done. But especially for sending His Son to earth, by way of a young but amazingly faithful young woman named Mary, to save me from my sins and the weariness of the world. Rejoice! A Savior has come - He is Christ the Lord!

Photos tomorrow! I just wanted to say hi!

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...

A Promise is a Promise (Grand Canyon)

Many years ago, I am guessing about 19 of them, our family visited the Grand Canyon for one day, on the way home from a trip to California to visit family.  Our eldest son was around 11, our middle one around 9, and our baby was a little over a year old.  Our boys wanted desperately to hike into the canyon, but our oldest one especially so.  He pleaded and my husband and I held firm our "No" as our youngest was too young and we were not outfitted for such an adventure.  I promised that we would return one day. A few months later we moved to the East Coast of Virginia.  Not planned when we stood at the edge of the canyon and that promise was made. And the many times we planned vacation time to the beach, our son reminded me of that promise to go the the Grand Canyon. Time flew quickly and years later we had not returned to the Grand Canyon.  But, we did move to Texas and as we looked at spending time as a family, our oldest son brought this promise bac...
