Last post for 2010...

Greetings dear ones on this final day of 2010.
What a year it has been - with all it's ups and downs; comings and goings; births and deaths; laughter and tears.

I am still continuing to count my many blessings - and will do so til I'm gone from this earth!
Here are the final ones for 2010:

475. Providing me with a parking space close to me appointment.
476. Travel mercies for hubby as he goes to the City and back each weekend.
477. TUMS - when my tummy is upset.
478. POWER! when it seems to be going out all around us...
479. Family coming for Christmas.
480. Seeing Madison at her school Christmas Concert b/c of the "magic" of video cameras!
481. A wonderful Christmas concert at our church.
482. A beautiful cool moonlit night - can't begin to describe the picture of the moon, clouds and trees! Magnificent!
483. Christmas day - preparing veggies, listening to Amazing Grace, sun shining in, patio door open an inch or two!
484. Christmas dinner with all the fixin's - family around the table!
485. Sunny skies, and no wind!

As we move into a new year I pray that each of us will take a moment or more to:
  • reflect on the blessings of this past year - even in the midst of difficult times!
  • cherish memories of loved ones - those that are with us and those that are gone from us for a time!
  • praise our Lord for who He is and KNOW that we would be nothing without Him in our lives!
  • dream about the possibilites of the future - whatever that might be for each one of us!
  • look outside of ourselves and see the needs around us, then decide to do something about them!
  • choose to think on those things that are true and noble and pure and lovely!

May 2011 be even more than you have imagined it might be! Blessings dear friends -

Hope, Love, and Joy!

You will show me the path of life;
In your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalm 16:11

How thankful I am for His Life; His Joy; His Love; His Hope; His Peace!
May your day be filled with all of these, and so much more, as you live in His Presence!

Now - May the God of all PEACE fill you with His JOY!
Blessings on yah!
