Reflections

A white Christmas in our neck of the woods high plains, is quite rare. We were blessed with beautiful snow, but I'd pass on the blizzard winds next time! Brrrr, it was freezing and we lost power AND internet service! Oh my! We got power back in a few hours, but the internet??.....not for 4 lonely and very quiet days. Alas, we are back in the cyber world today.

The 'down' time allowed us to relax and enjoy the moment by the fireside. I contemplate so many blessings in my life. As this new year is on our doorstep....I am THANKFUL.

I am Thankful for our Saviour that affords us the hope for eternal salvation.

I am sending forth good wishes and tidings to all my friends. It is the time to spend with friends and family and rekindle relationships. Cherish your moments and share your love openly.

I reflect on my family angels more now than ever. My daughter is a Blessing to me every day. Her humor keeps me entertained and her down to earth responsibility makes me so very proud. My son has served 3 tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan and has returned home to continue his service stateside. He has a beautiful family and has blessed us with a most entertaining grand-daughter. I admire his Honor and Duty to family and country.

My Dear Husband is my soul-mate. I am happy to share our time together.

Just thoughts passing through and reflections I wanted to share as

we begin a Happy New Year!

Blessings

I look back at the past year as it has flashed by me. I pause to say thank you to all who have touched my life and family. I am thankful for

• Jesus Christ who died on the cross for all mankind
• my husband who is my perfect soul mate
• the daughter that makes me laugh and keeps it real for all of us
• the son in Afghanistan, doing his job to protect our country and making us all proud
• his beautiful wife and new daughter that are the greatest bonus gift to our family
• my brothers and their wonderful wives and families
• my parents that have given their love unselfishly

I hope to keep all these things in focus as this next year will surely rush by in another blur.

See ya next year with a fresh blog and pics. Happy New Year to all!!!
