Christmas present

Christmas is not far away.  Sometimes, perhaps most of the time, I try hard to find gifts that people will value. It isn’t an easy task.  Eleven years ago, one of my daughters put to use her creative talents and blessed my husband and me with a very unique gift. It was the best Christmas present she could have given us!

Her boys were 4, 18 months, and 2 weeks. I still have that present on my bed.

BROTHERS

brothers
Marmelade and Sylvester

 

We have two house kittens. They have never been outside. They are brothers and they love people. Recently we bought a new screen door so when the day was pleasant, I opened the door so the day could shine into the house. I couldn’t catch the picture of them both looking out the door, watching the chickens, Reginald G.P. Cuddles and Henrietta, they hadn’t seen before. I did however catch the picture of Sylvester looking out the door, while Marmelade kept grabbing his tail.

GOOD DAYS, BAD DAYS, ADJUSTMENTS

Hello at last! It feels like forever since I have been on my blog. For those who have left comments that have not been responded to, please forgive me. I think adjustments to homeschooling and life with four active grandchildren (as well as healing from a bacterial infection which caused lots of coughing and restless nights) are working to give me more time for my personal pursuits, like blogging.

On weekday mornings, I take my homeschooled boy to band with his french horn to the middle school. It is a gift from the Lord to drive down the tree -lined country roads. When the trees on the main road give way to farm lands (the trees still line the horizon), it is still lovely. It is a refreshing time to drive to and from and to spend the fifty waiting minutes to read or go to the nearby Kroger market to pick up items I or the family might need. Twice a week, we have PE, swimming at the YMCA.

As I take stock of my life with my family, I see I am blessed in all things, even in the needed work on my little car. God is good; all things go through His sovereign hand out of His love for me. I can trust Him in all things.

May God give you a good day and strengthen you in the bad.
