Christmas 2016
No Christmas card is coming your way this year. I hope you aren’t waiting by your mailbox for it’s arrival. I thought I needed a break from my clever wordage that comes with a fantastic picture of my better looking family than yours...you have to be tired of that....always getting that picture and wishing you were a Sherwood....I know it must be hard on the little people out there...so I am giving you all a break.
We are having home renovations that have spilled over into this season, so most things around here either are in a different location or has an inch of dust on it....The whole house has been dusted....and my finger prints are everywhere!
This is the year we go skiing in Utah...the whole family will be there, so I am sure you will see a snow picture, if you can stand seeing my better looking family than yours, again! If you are counting, and who isn’t, Joe & I have 8 GRANDS, as of this moment...but it could be changing while I am writing this, so who really knows?
We are in the “waiting period” with my mother’s health. She has a walnut size cancer mass in her lung, which will hopefully be removed, if all goes as planned....but we leave that to God in the planning department...Every time I try to take over His job, it backfires on me...so I hold most things with open hands....When I do that, He manages to fill them with an overload of blessings, that spill over above anything I could imagine.
Just in the past few months, I have more friends than I can count, who have that four letter word...Cancer!....So I have been humbled and taken to my knees and taking my requests before His throne...no better place for me right now...It’s kinda crowded down here, by the way...and I appreciate the company.
This is the season to celebrate....Jesus birthday....Laura Jo said we are having an “angel food cake” with a candle in it, for Jesus’ birthday....Quite fitting indeed!
May this year be surrounded by family, friends, and may 2017 be a year like none other!....May your struggles humble you, your strength grow, may your nights be “silent”, and may you get a big piece of pie before the year is out!
From my heart to yours, much love, Laura~~~
