November 28, 2011


Our Thanksgiving was quite eventful this year.
My mother-in-law has been hospitalized for the past three years in a facility that was in Northern California. Recently she was moved closer which meant we were able to spend the holiday with her.
She was able to meet the baby and join my immediate family for Thanksgiving dinner.
We have so much to be thankful for. . .
 Reuniting with family and reconnecting.
 Pretty centerpieces made with love by Grandma Ray and a great feast!
 Family members home for the holidays...hopefully permanently. B, how we have missed you!
 Feasting with the family.
 Game time with the cousins.
and a little hint of the season that is to come...compliments of Nina and Nino.

My father-in-law thought the verse he saw around my house was funny.
He kept asking me is I was really evil.
I try not to be...but the potential exists...

"Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips. Do not incline me to any evil thing."--Psalm 141:3-4

Words to live by this holiday season--especially during this time of Advent and waiting--
bombarded with things to get done in order to have the perfect holiday.
Perfect is that baby Jesus lying in a manager.
He is the perfect holiday.
Let us live each holy day appreciating the perfection that He is.
