Life sure is busy. As my mom says, "If it's not one thing, it's another." I have two friends who are dealing with cancer in a couple of ways. One is an old high school friend whose wife is in hospice care at home, and an old childhood friend who's suffering a relapse with lung cancer. A burden to bear, but lots of folks are praying. Have to remember that even in death, and maybe even more so, God is Sovereign.
That said, I'm so grateful for today. For a son who's been moved up the ladder a bit at work, thinking he'd be laid off for Christmas, but was given the surprise of a change to a different department (retail work can be such a drag!). Husband has a full shop and the surprise of chair repair work, which is wonderful, quick income when you need to buy groceries. :) All sickness is out the house, with residual coughs being the only proof that we've been sick.
Church tonight, complete with holiday music. Really looking forward to that! It's been over a month since we've been able to go, way overdo, so that'll be nice. Took the kids there, last night, to see 'Polar Express' in 3D...plus 'Charlie Brown's Christmas'. The least one had such fun, her eyes were all sparkly. For those who don't have children, you really need to get to know a kid during the holidays. They really do show the Christmas spirit in such sweet ways.
Now, off to write my grocery list. Must get that done so that when one of the older children gets back from running around I can leave.
