We arrived just in time to help our little granddaughter, Olive, celebrate her 5th birthday. There were tacos and a piñata, a plethora of unicorns, and (of course) cake and ice cream to finish it all off.
A few days later we celebrated Thanksgiving Day with the family. In spite of all the negative things we can point to in 2021 and perhaps find reasons to worry or complain, there is much more to be thankful for-- good health, the love of friends and family, and God's faithful care over us in every situation. We are truly blessed.
It feels good to sit in one place for a while, even though I generally prefer moving around. Perhaps the thing that makes it good is family. Olive makes sure I don't get bored. She blesses me with a visit on a daily basis -- sometimes more than one.
It's hard to believe Christmas is just around the corner and another year is nearly over. Mark and I wish you all a holiday season filled with joy and the peace that comes with knowing the Christ of Christmas.
Until next time, safe travels and God bless!
