A gift from my church family

This is a picture of the beautiful flower I received from my church family following my surgery. It has varigated leaves. I hope I can keep it alive for awhile. I'm not to good at that................ it's almost Christmas - are you ready?

My copper tree candles

Some of you remarked how you liked my tree candles. My oldest son made those for me.

He and his wife makes things out of copper. They sell copper bird feeders, copper flowers for the garden, copper finch feeders, etc. They sell these items at various craft shows in the area. Thanks for your comments.

Read Carefully

If you look for Me at Christmas,

you won't need a special star -

I'm no longer just in Bethlehem,

I'm right there where you are.

You may not be aware of Me

amid the celebrations --

You'll have to look beyond the stores

and all the decorations.

But if you take a moment

from your list of things to do

and listen to your heart, you'll find

I'm waiting there for you.

You're the one I want to be with,

you're the reason that I came,

And you'll find Me in the stillness

as I'm whispering your name.

Love,

Jesus

More deocrations as promised...........

My Boyd bears waiting patiently for visitors...........

More snowmen watching for snow so they can help clean the drive..............

Sunday Blessings

Having recovered from my surgery it was wonderful to able to go to worship with my church family again today. I miss worship when I am not able to attend. My voice is very "bass" yet so I could not sing the hymns very well. It's a bad time of the year to not be able to sing. All those beautiful Christmas songs - but I just listened and mouthed them so no one would think I wasn't interested. Our pastor preached on Psalm 98 - read it when you get time. Verse 1 and 2 says "Sing to the Lord a new song; for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. The Lord has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations. (He sent His Son as a babe to reveal his plan of salvation for you and me - how great is that?)

Enjoy your day - it's almost Christmas!!

Birthday Blessings

Happy Birthday to our Son-in-Law - Chip

He's the best son-in-law we have.

(He's also the only one we have)

Seriously though, he is a blessing.

We couldn't have done better if we would have picked him out ourselves.

He makes our daughter very happy. That's what is important.

Happy Birthday, Chip - We love you.
