1. Another wonderful time of fellowship with a couple we are informally discipling. There is just nothing like it. So thankful God led us to do this and that we took heed to His leading.

2. A good day at church on Sunday and the blessing of going Christmas caroling as a church family. When you see a teenage boy playing a jaw harp, a college girl toting an accordion, and a little boy ringing jingle bells as we sing to folks who are homebound, it just warms your heart. Theirs, too. Watching older folks sing along to the familiar carols is such a blessing.
3. A productive and yet very relaxed day on Christmas Eve. I delivered a few kitchen gifts and did a lot of Christmasy puttering, tweaking the decor, wrapping a few gifts, etc.

5. A nice long walk the past couple of mornings. It's been very cold, but the roads are fine for walking and it's been nice and sunny. We finally conquered a hill we've been trying to get up for months. It's very long and steep and we had thought that maybe by spring we would make it. It's still December and we've done this hill twice now! A feeling of great accomplishment!

A lovely week! Is it snowing gently there today? I have done my Bible reading following the plan you suggested early in the month or late in November. It is so pleasant here by the lit tree with only the sound of my tapping on the iPad and the gentle roar of the furnace. I should be more like you in getting out for a daily walk...”use it or lose it” is the admonition that comes to mind. 😊
ReplyDeleteI am sure that some credit may be given to a good mother and a good grandmother because her Source is The Lord God Himself. 🙂
I loved this comment, Vee. It conjured up such a lovely and pleasant winter day.
DeleteThis week's weather nastiness put a halt to our walking, but we are trying again next week. We've missed it a lot!
So sweet of you to say some credit may be given to me ... I'm not so sure, but am always so thankful when I observe this in her. What a blessing to her family.
So glad you had a good Christmas Mrs T. I walked to the neighbors house this morning to feed her cats while she is away and the weather was so warm for Dec 28th. But I will take it...the rain continues here. I read that it is the rainiest year for GA since 1948!! I am trying to put things away and get organized for the new Year!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get things organized and put away too, Arlene. I know we get slower as we age ... I certainly seem to be finding it so!
DeleteIt is wonderful to see your child being a good parent. He is good.
ReplyDeleteI need to crawl out there today and get back to walking. I have been lazy the past little bit. It makes you feel so much better.
Amen, He is indeed good!
DeleteWe didn't walk at all this week ... too cold and windy a couple of the days, and snow and freezing rain the other days. Not safe to be out there. Hoping to get out again this coming week.
Mrs T, that is quite an icy hill! Your Christmas sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is not the hill in the photo, Gina! That is an icy flooded field from last winter. I haven't taken any photos of "the Hill". Perhaps I should!
DeleteI love to go Christmas caroling, not only does it bless others, it blesses me! Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteSo true, Mary! We don't have many fantastic singers in our group, but the instruments help. Happy New Year to you as well.
