a very merry

"I am churched up for a while," said my dad. He commented this at 12:15 a.m. after the Christmas Eve/Christmas morning service at the Methodist church here in Fordyce. He went to his church in Hamburg that morning, our church at 6:00 p.m. and then the midnight service at the Methodist church. I enjoyed going to the 3 services I went to that day as well. It helped to ring in the Christmas spirit to go and concentrate on the joy of the season, Jesus. My kids were ecstatic to find a trampoline and a puppy under the tree Christmas morning. We took the pup with us to Mississippi to celebrate for 3 days with Stacy's family. They were great sports to have a pup that did it's business all over the house. We managed only to have a couple of accidents and thanks to hard wood and tile it wasn't so bad. We had a great Christmas and are continuing to enjoy school-free days. We hope you had a great Christmas. Hope you all have a Happy New Year!!

Hannah, my teacher

Hudson and I have been under the weather lately. I thought I was much better Saturday, but last night and today I feel the truck that hit me Thursday has backed up and hit me again.

Hannah read a book to Hudson the other night and said, "Mom, his fever is high, he is really hot." I said, "I have given him his medicine. I've done all I can do."

She said, "Mom, have you prayed over him?" I sadly replied, "no, I don't guess I have." She then put her hands over him and prayed the sweetest most mature prayer for God's healing. I am amazed by all of God's wonderful gifts that he gives me through my children.

Pray for your family and your friends and for the lost in our world today.

THE PATRIARCHS

Recently I joined a group on the internet doing a Beth Moore Bible study called The Patriarchs. I am eager to learn via typepad. Hope to have this blog space up and running soon...
