| Hi girls...remember me....I wanted to post something today as I have been rather silent the past 7 or 8 days...without going into a long rather boring "explanation"...I will just say I've been going to doctors...working....and resting...I wanted to write something every day on Loblolly...but when he day started....I was at a loss...so I decided to lean into the silence ....and wait... |
 |
| I did put some fresh cuttings in my Ironstone pitchers on our Living room coffee table...the tree is up with lights ..one ornament my sister was sweet enough to give us..and a tree skirt...I have been spending a lot of time talking to the Lord lately...after all it's Jesus Birthday soon....I always find myself so thankful this time of year...it was foretold that a savior would be born...in God's timing...he was....he came to bring us hope and a future.. |
 |
| It doesn't really matter when time seems a little off kilter....when we find ourselves going through something we don't understand....when we are struggling to make the best of a situation or circumstance...the Lord shows up in the details..the specific things we are most of the time likely to MISS....like a husband that makes sure to make a Christmas tree appear when I needed it most...or hugs from my nephews when they're GROWN STRAPPING OAKS...and they could feel to old to shower me with strong ...caring...hugs.... |

| Our little M is 4 years old this year....such a "Wonderful" time to look forward to Christmas day with her...I have had visits from her these last 2 weeks...blessed by her precious concern for her ...."Gigi"......she asked me the last time I saw her as she walked up to me..whisper close ...reached her little hand out and laid it on my back...asking.."Gigi ..will you feel all better by the time Santa comes...I don't want you to miss the fun"...so no matter what...I am learning during this time ...of off kilter living...that I am so blessed and thankful...what if God's blessings are in the middle of the pain and confusion...if they are..I decided I don't want to miss ANY OF THEM.... |
 |
| So my sweet girls...from my house to yours today I pray you have oodles of Christmas fun....time with your faces...and good health to enjoy it all....with big hugs and blessings until next time....Karena |
