Merry Christmas

A Merry Christmas to all of you!! We are have a lovely first Christmas in our new home in North Carolina. Bill will need to go to work this evening, but we will first eat Christmas dinner with our lovely neighbors.

I have sadly neglected this blog the last couple of months. It is not because there was nothing to write about. In fact, there were many things to write about--I was quite busy.

One of the big things on my mind has been my mother's health. She was in the hospital about a month--during November and December. She had an aortic valve replaced and also had a by-pass done. We wer there for about a week over the time of the surgery. PTL--she is making progress--a bit slower than we had hoped, but nonetheless, progress.

The thing I have been thinking about a lot this Christmas season is Jesus being the light of the world. Have you ever noticed how bright one little light is in a very dark place? Somehow, this world feels darker all the time. But Jesus' light shine brighter--the darker the surroundings!!

May you feel His light and love and direction in 2009!!
