Well, I am a little behind on my blogging. Have been pretty busy. Christmas was wonderful. We spent Christmas Eve at home just the 3 of us, Rick, Donella and myself. However, I went with Donella to Clyde and Wendy's church for their Christmas Eve service and I was so glad I did. It was a very special service to me and it was so close since their church is at the Savannah Elementary school.
Christmas Day we spent with the Russell's and Munroe's. We had brunch with Landen, Leighton, Ricky J. and Wendy. You can see the pics on Wendy's blog. Can't believe I forgot my camera but with all the gifts to put in the car, it just slipped my mind. It was so much fun watching the little ones open their gifts. I think besides Christmas being Jesus' birthday it is also about the little ones.
After we were through and watched the kids play for a while we came home so they could get some rest and I had to cook the dressing and green bean casserole for later that evening. Then that evening we went and spent it with Linda, Craig and all the Russell Frisco family which we have never done because usually Linda and Craig are in Oklahoma. It was so nice that Linda and Craig opened up their home to all of us. (Also see the pics on Wendy's blog). We had a wonderful time and then we came home for a much needed rest.
Missed seeing my youngest one and his family this year but never heard from them about the plans but I am sure they had a wonderful Christmas with Valerie's family.

The Real Meaning Of Love by Pauline Hamblin
Just a man, like you and me.
When he hung on the dogwood tree.
Feelings of pain, I know he felt.
When a blow from that spear was dealt.
Beaten and thirsty, hanging there.
The angry crowd did not care.
Gall and vinegar they gave him to drink.
Son of God he had no link.
Dressed in purple, crowned with thorns.
Was the raiment he was adorned.
Crucify him shouts were heard.
He let them, willingly, without a word.
"Greater love hath no man than this"
Words were said for men amiss.
He could have brought them to their knees.
But he knew life's sacrifice was the key.
He looked ahead into time.
Right down into this heart of mine.
He saw promise in my life.
That's why he gave up, without strife.
On the third day he rose again.
Eager to fulfill his Father's plan.
How much he loves us, we fail to see.
He stretched his arms out, and died for me.
I saw this and thought it was too beautiful not to share.
When he hung on the dogwood tree.
Feelings of pain, I know he felt.
When a blow from that spear was dealt.
Beaten and thirsty, hanging there.
The angry crowd did not care.
Gall and vinegar they gave him to drink.
Son of God he had no link.
Dressed in purple, crowned with thorns.
Was the raiment he was adorned.

Jesus knows:
the small secrets of your heart,
the unspoken dreams of your imagination,
the unrevealed thoughts of your mind,
the emotional shards of your feelings,
the paralyzing fears for your future,
the bitter resentments of your past,
the joys and heartaches,
the pleasures and pain,
the successes and failures,
the honors and humiliations,
the deeds and the douts.
He knows all about you, inside and out, past, present and future.
the unspoken dreams of your imagination,
the unrevealed thoughts of your mind,
the emotional shards of your feelings,
the paralyzing fears for your future,
the bitter resentments of your past,
the joys and heartaches,

the successes and failures,
the honors and humiliations,
the deeds and the douts.
He knows all about you, inside and out, past, present and future.
