Last Day of 2007

Brighten Someone's Life Today!!!

Today we will be saying "farewell" to 2007!!!! That means today is the last opportunity---in 2007---- we will have to do a good deed for someone, to ask forgiveness for some unkind word or deed, to not only tell someone we love them but to show we love them, to tell someone we appreciate them and that they have been a blessing to us and most of all to thank God for the blessings of the past year.

We have experienced happy times as well as some difficult times during 2007 but God has been faithful and has walked with us through the valleys. Perhaps we will never forget the ice storm that affected so many in so many ways. We were fortunate even though we had no heat nor power for most of a week, we had a dear Son and Daughter-in-law who opened their doors to us and we were so blessed to not have to go to a shelter during that time.

One of the outstanding memories of the year will forever be the wonderful "60th Wedding Anniversary Celebration" our family blessed us with in January. Relatives and friends traveled from many states to be with us and we love and appreciate each one. It was a great occasion and has been a great 60 years, I might add.

Another high light of the year was in June when Keith and Jessica invited us to their beautiful, outdoor wedding. It was just short of a "family reunion" as many family members traveled long distances once again for the special occasion. You will remember a few posts back, Keith and Jessica announced that they are expecting an addition to their family come next August.

2007 has been a very good year in many ways. We are left to wonder what 2008 will bring but we leave it in God's hands and find comfort in knowing He will supply and protect. I wish God's wonderful blessings and a very peaceful, prosperous and healthy NEW YEAR for each of you.

Ring out the old, ring in the new, ring out the false, ring in the true. Ring out the sorrow, pain and care, ring in happiness EVERYWHERE!!!!

I LOVE YOU,

Dortha
