Here we are, closing out November and Thanksgiving, and God is painting our skies with brilliant streaks of color! While others are seeing white all around them and freezing temperatures, Erick and I have gotten in long rides on the Spyder every day this week, and it has been glorious! The miracles in the desert are truly breathtaking, and it's good to have time with my Sweetie to revel in the wonder of all that He has given us. A time of real celebration is near, so stop shopping and celebrate the One that saved us all.
Our family will continue to grow in 2011 with two new nieces or nephews, whatever He has designed. Julie and Terri are expecting in early January, and we just found out that the Seidel family will have a new addition mid-year!
Our other holiday miracle is the return of Aunt Martha to her living facility. She was released from rehab just in time to spend the holiday with family. Please keep her in your prayers as she continues to work on regaining strength.
Our Bahamas family is holding on and staying strong in their faith. The children are doing well in school and looking forward to the Christmas season. Sarah was baptized two weeks ago, so everyone in the family is now living for Christ. Times are tough down there; the economic downturn in the States has really affected the tourism there, and with no tourists, Miss Betty has little income. We will do what we can again this year to help make their holiday a little brighter. Their church has been terrific about accepting packages for them so that they actually make it to the family instead of disappearing at the post office.
More to come as the season nears...
