The Third Sunday of Advent 2009...

A pink or rose colored candle is lit on the third Sunday of Advent and it symbolizes Joy for the coming of Christ. We light this candle to thank God for His Son our Savior who brings us great joy. (We will have the first three of the Advent candles lit today.)

There is truly joy in knowing Christ as Lord and Savior.

Happy 63rd Anniversary Dad & Mom! Here's wishing you many more!

Happy Birthday Duane...

Happy Birthday Duane! Wishing you blessings for your special day and throughout the year !

Winter Is Here...

Wow... winter is here. It has been so windy and cold, but hey, I've been ready. It is just kinda rough when you have to go outside. If I have to go somewhere, I am thankful that I don't drive horse and buggy! Sitting at home by the fireplace or just in a nice cozy warm room and looking out is great!

Happy Birthday Lauryn...

Happy Birthday Lauryn. Hope you have lots of fun today!

I'm So Glad To Be Back Blogging...

Tell you what... I'm so glad to be back blogging. I got so involved with facebook that I neglected my blogging. Really, I think I like blogging better because I have more space to express myself. You just can't say some things with a few clicks of the keyboard.

Facebook is fun because you feel like you are with your friends and experiencing what they experience, but your blog is just you. I looked at how few posts I've had this year and feel a little sad. So much, I missed sharing. Well, hopefully, this new year will start off different because I plan to get back to my blogging.

Well, just a few of my thoughts for the day...

The Blessings of Friendship...

Have you ever thought about the blessings of friendship? I always think of that scripture, "A friend loveth at all times..." Proverbs 17:17 It is so true... friends love you through the thick and thin of it all. They are there for you in the good and the bad. It is so good to have friends.

I say, "The best thing we can do for our friends, is to be their friend." Just a thought for this Christmas season. We don't always have to buy gifts... send a card and let them know that you love them.

Have a blessed day!
