Isaiah 43:25, “I am He who blots out your transgressions, and I will not remember your sins.”

What a day yesterday was!

DH got through the latest tests @St Ann's with flying colors...thank you for the prayers little sister.

15 minutes after we got home I got a frantic call that my Dad was not feeling well...so a trip to another  DR and a pharmacy trip. Praying that he feels better today :) 

Later last evening I finished up wrapping presents and placing them under the tree and the neighbors ornament gifts to be delivered by DH.

Today I will work on making Christmas cards and wrapping the DD and 2 GCs' birthday presents for the Saturday party....please, no more snow!!

Be blessed!!! 

Wishing you a Joyous Season!

Whoever asks receives! Salvation is the gift of God to ALL who accept it… Jesus came for YOU and Joy in your salvation is your strength. Just believe.

Winter has hit the US in force....in our county we are in a level 2 snow emergency...I have no where that I have to be and I am blessed to be able to sit in my loft and watch the winter wonderland!

Rejoice in this wonderful season celebrating the birth of the One who came to save us from ourself!

Winter has arrived :)

“Where can I go from your Spirit?” he questioned with delight. “Where can I go from your presence? (Psalm 139:7).

It is in the simple, every day nuances of life that we see God at work.

Look around you and see His presence!

Be blessed...

“The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life, only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.” (John 10:18).

Jesus’ death was not the result of a panicking, cosmological engineer. The cross wasn’t a tragic surprise. The death of the Son of God was anything but an unexpected peril!

Jesus’ death was part of a plan.  A calculated choice.The cross was written into the script. It was no accident. Jesus was born crucified. Whenever he became conscious of who he was, he also became conscious of what he had to do. It explains the resoluteness in his words:  “The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life, only to take it up again.  No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.” (John 10:18).

So call it what you wish.  An act of grace. A plan of redemption.  A martyr’s sacrifice. But whatever you call it, don’t call it an accident. It was anything but that!

Happy Birthday Timmy

 I thank God for you daily...I love you bunches and bunches!

Bring on the Birthday Celebration of Jesus Christ my Lord!

Thanksgiving is over....what the heck! Where did fall go? My sister's family came into town on Wednesday and they left on Sunday, We miss them already! Three of her sons stayed at our house and it is always a treat to be able to really talk to them without the chaos that we have when all of us are together. There were 30 of us at Mom and Dads' for Thanksgiving dinner and every year I worry that I will not make enough food and every year we have leftovers...nothing wrong with leftovers :)

DH is hunting this morning... it is the first day of the gun hunting season in Ohio! This year they have the barn and a wood stove to keep them warm so it should be a nice time for him and his friend!

Yesterday my cousin (more like a nephew...he is younger than my children) helped DH carry up the Christmas decorations from downstairs....so appreciative!! Later on today after bowling we will put them in their little spaces....I love Christmas and all the hope for mankind that it represents! 

Have a blessed day!
