Another Christmas

Wow!  whats with all the lights.

Another Christmas is here and I do think back over the last 12 months since the last Christmas. Joey and I are very blessed people.  We have our health this year, only 2 kidney stone attacks I don't consider these non-health just very irritating. Our children are growing and maturing probably further ahead than we were at their age. They both are starting out with new jobs, Audrey a hygienist  who loves to clean the YUK on peoples teeth, God Bless her somebody has to do it. Audrey's cancer on her foot we found early so that is being handle quickly and she is learning she can't stay in the sun much, she is not happy about that.   Josh whose Real Estate company has sold about  4 houses in the last 4 months in this slow economy, with that his construction company has remodeled a couple of these homes and he loves the creativity and  he is ADD and needs constant change so this works well for him.  Josh and Abby have that funny little girl in the picture who is more of a blessing that we can all believe.  It is fun to watch your children become parents, it changes some of their perspective on you. To see your son hug and kiss on that little bald head and see her smile at her Daddy brings tears to your eyes. Once again we are blessed.
We have been in our new church since August, and it has grown from regular attendance of 250 to last week we had 370, Praise the Lord.  We knew there was a need in that area for a church that ministers to children with all the young couples living around there. We have a great pastor who lets us be us.  When I am mad and fuss with him, I know he loves me and my family. We have a great young youth pastor that is spiritually way ahead of alot of youth pastors I have worked with.
We have the greatest friends in the world, new and old.  Once again I say we are very blessed!
So this Christmas thank the Lord for your Blessings and see what God has done in your life this last year.
