Happy New Year 2011!!!!!New Year's Eve we were snug as 5 bugs in a rug on such a cold night. Temps dipped to 10 BELOW zero! We used the new gas/convection stove to cook our roast "beast" along with all the fixins. We even had a fabulous dear, old friend and her two teenager girls over for company.
You can tell I'm getting older because I couldn't stay awake past 10:15 p.m. We rang in the New Year with sparkling cider at that time, kissed our friends good-bye, and made our weary way to bed.
This morning, temps were still hovering below zero.
I spent my morning reading my Bible and praying for the upcomin year, as well as thanking the Lord for getting me through 2010. It was a tough one...except that my husband now believes! The end of the year was smooth sailing, Praise the Lord!
My mother's battle with breast cancer weighs heavy on my mind, but I am confident that the Lord will keep his loving arms around her and that she will recover fully.
I have new friends, ones I met on-line through a Christian Women's Support Group. One in particular, Billie, is my spiritual mentor and Sister in Spirit. We have even "met" online through Skype. What a neat thing!
Today we spent the day cleaning the home, as usual, doing dishes and laundry and cooking, as well as taking care of the youngest.
Here is a photo of our youngest at tonight's tea party. What a blast!
Lord, I pray that you would guide and lead this family down the path that you have chosen for us. May I be a living testament on this earth to your love and your grace, and may I be loving and patient and tender and gentle as I lead others to You. Amen.
