2009 I cannot believe it is 2009. It really seems just yesterday we changed centuries and now we are just about one decade into already. I just keep looking up and listening for the trumpet of God. With each passing year I count all my blessing, and again last year brought in a ton. But I also become more anxious to see my Lord.
We ended the year with a bang! Laura and her boys came to our place in Texas and then together we traveled to Kentucky and saw my husband parents and his sister and her family. Ohio gave us a chance to see my Dad and Betty, and Gary and Donna and some of their family. Kansas brought us back to part of our kids. We got Laura and the boys back to Mark and then we all went and spend some time with Albert and Kalli. So we spent our Christmas with as much family as possble. We saw a little snow, but way too much icy on roads. But God again blessed us with safety. We enjoyed our time at Albert and Kalli's when we were able to "skype" to Brazil and have all the kids together. Via in internet we connected with the Taylors and we sang songs, told stories, played a game and cried too. It was a wonderful time and we just rejoice again for the gift of family given so lovingly by our Heavenly Father.
