I am thinking...that I will miss our wonderful church family that we love so dearly. After 12-1/2 years of making the 70 mile round trip at least twice a week to our church, we have decided to look for a church closer to home after the first of the year. It's breaking our hearts, but it has been confirmed in all 4 of our hearts. I will, however, still attend the Seminary.
I am thankful for...a warm house on a cold, blustery day.
From the learning rooms...We are OFF for CHRISTmas break! In our homeschool, we take off June, July and December instead of August. Our long, wonderful break has begun!
From the kitchen...I'm considering potato soup. My grandma's VERY simple Kentucky Depression-era version.
I am wearing...thick, warm socks, flannel pj bottom and a sweat shirt. It's a cold morning!
I am creating...an empty corner so that Jenna and I can put up our CHRISTmas tree today! Woohoo!!!
I am going...to the local Old Order farm and get my milk and brown eggs before the snow really kicks in. I underestimated how much milk we would use during the Thanksgiving weekend and we squeaked out the last of it last night.
I am reading...Bible; still reading Pride & Prejudice.
I am hoping...that we will find great opportunities for ministry in which-ever church we 'land' in.
I am hearing...the T.V.
Around the house...Jenna and I will be putting up most of the CHRISTmas decorations today! That's ALWAYS so much better than taking them down.
One of my favorite things...good food, fellowship and deep conversation with trusted Christian friends.
A few plans for the rest of the week: putting up CHRISTmas decorations - inside and out, getting Maggie (our dog) trimmed, making some time to spend w/my mother. Unfortunately, it may include a funeral as my 94 year old uncle (my mom's last brother out of 13 siblings) will probably pass away today or tomorrow. I'm praying that the Lord works in ways that we don't understand while he is uncounscious and that somehow he will be Heaven-bound.
Here is picture thought I am sharing...
