We Continue to be Thankful!!!Even though Thanksgiving Day is now history for 2008, we continue to count our blessings. We had a blessed week with our out-0f-town guests as well as our local families. God was so good to give us great weather and many hours to share thoughts and memories while at the same time, making new memories. Everyday, simple things may become the greatest and most treasured memories of tomorrow. I am grateful for the bounty of love and memories that are mine forever to cherish.
There were some anxious and sad moments because of the terrorist attacks in India resulting in Blake Bartlett's being held captive and Jessica and Keith's not being able to join us during the week. We rejoiced with Blake's being released and that he is now home in Ohio, also that Jessica has some relief from her pain. It was a wonderful week. It would have been even more special had more family been able to be with us; however, we are expecting Andrea and family also Roger to visit in a couple of weeks. That will be another blessing.
It hardly seems possible that today can be the first day of the last month of 2008. Only 30 more days this year and only 24 days until Christmas. The year has seen many changes and no doubt will see many more come January 2009. We can only trust that God will continue to protect and supply our needs.
Speaking of a new month, that would mean Birthday time, huh???? We don't have very many for December however, the ones we do have are as follows:
Birthdays:
Vicky...........................................Dec. 10th
Brett............................................Dec 21st
Thought for the day: Most people sparkkle and shine when the sun is shinning but when darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within!!! May we all let our lights shine!!!!
Love and memories,
Dortha
