HAPPY NEW YEAR
I’ve got to post one more time while it is still 2008. I hope it don’t take me 3 hours to write this or I’ll be the first one posting in 2009. As I go from site to site there are lots of people looking back on the year. The news said it was a bad year. Was your year bad? Of course every year I hope is better than the last. That is I hope I do better than last year.
I could say 2008 was full of trials for me. In a sense it was, but as I type this there are rockets and bombs falling across the sea. While I check back over Stan’s diary of the summer and count the surgeries, I can’t help but think of the mothers that are losing their homes, while I count. Think of it, and Thank God every time you put a spoonful of food in the open mouth of your child or grandchild. ( I love to watch a baby eat, they open their mouths wide like a baby bird )
Let’s see the last 12 months…….Wow I just looked over my blog, so many of them are unfinished, so many interruptions . Life does gives us a lot of surprises, and lots of interruptions, some good and some we would rather not think about. J but I’m glad the ones I don’t like to think about are in the past. One thing that happened this past year that I love to think about is our family reunion. O, the fun memories. I don’t want to ever forget.
One word of warning for you dear people, Thank God for what you have and use it. I talk from my own experience. Listen up to my wisdom J What I mean is I love to scrapbook and I like to plan ahead sooooo-o planning ahead I purchased 6 - 12x12 scrapbooks to use for special occasions. I collected stickers and papers and all kinds of good things, I even saved special pictures for these scrapbooks that I would certainly do when I had time, I finally got around to working on one, oh the fun I had making each page just so. When I got it done and went to show it to Pop………………I can’t hardly lift it. So I will enjoy it by myself, alone, in my craft room L J I do some of the dumbest things O, the times I have to laugh at myself. If you should come to visit me and you hear me laughing way off in the house with no one near, don’t think I’ve lost my mind, I’ve probably just discovered something that I can’t believe I have done. I keep wondering off of things I want say. So I guess I’ll close, I can’t close without wishing you a
Blessed New Year !

oh, sweet lady....I pray that your new year is a blessed one. I think that it is very easy to just see the challenges we faced, or the trials we endured, but the real blessing is when you can see how you were carried in your difficult times, and how provided for we are, and that no matter what, even the smallest of things that brings us joy is a victory over the enemy! God Bless!
How absolutely true!!! This has been a hard year in so many ways but I have also been truely blessed by even some of the hard times!!! If I stop by and hear you laughing, I will come join you!! Hope to see you when we come back through towards home!!
Your year ahead is a blank slate ... to you that is. God sees just around the bend and all the way to the end. Funny how that works! I wouldn't want to know too much about what lies ahead or else I would mess things up that God has planned. The good and the bad. Each day, each step, each year ... what ever we are given, is one moment closer to our God, Jesus. I am thankful for meeting you and many other blog friends. Without you and others I would be half the person I am. Not always thinking God's ways or remembering to watch my P's and Q's. Thanks for your encouragement and reinforcement of God's handiwork.
Hugs,
