Christmas Blessings

Thank You Lord! What a true blessing! On the 23rd of December, Jacky, Jess, Jared and three little girls drove here to Missouri to spend the Christmas holiday with us! We have loved having a full house!! The ringing of laughter from little girls is one of the most wonderful sounds there is!! Although money was tight for all of us, each of those little ones certainly felt the love that was given. From coloring at the table to exploring Ft. Leonard Wood, we have shared alot these past 6 days! And we have taken MANY pictures. Right now, everyone is down for a nap - and after nap we will all gather around the Christmas tree and take pictures. We are praying that the pictures will come out good so that we can make copies of them for folks. I will post some of them on here when we get finished taking pictures.

Our prayer is that all will feel the love of the season, the joy of family and the hopefulness of a new year!! May God richly bless each of you!!

Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!!!

Weather/whether

Watching and waiting. That seems to be the set for these days. We watch to see what the weather will do and then wait to see if we have work or not. Heavy winds have been pounding us for the past two days and now we have downpour - which is supposed to turn into ice. yipee.

Our prayers are that the weather will even out before next week - God willing that is when the kids are heading here for Christmas. I am sooo looking forward to a full house!! Miss all the noise of kids. Just Jim, me and Girlie - well we don't make much noise.

Our Christmas prayer is that all who travel will find warm happy homes waiting for them at the end of their journey; that all who wish to travel, but can't, may still have joy in their hearts as they recall Christmas memories and plan for Christmas futures; and that all who celebrate this most holy season truly take the time to remember why they are celebrating.

May your trees be bright, your hot cocoa just right and your family be blessed!!
