Almost a New Year

One more day in 2008...hard to believe it is almost a year since my life partner of 50 years made his journey to heaven. All of us Christ followers look forward to heaven, wouldn't it be great if the journey to get there wasn't so painful.
Christmas with the family was very different...memories shared...old belongings given to our children in memory of their dad...grandchildren read the Christmas story that Bapa always read.
I did not think I could do it but I did.....God does not give us grace or peace until we need it.
Home is comforting to me...maybe because I have been a homemaker for so long...surounded by memories feels SAFE somehow right now.

New comer to blogging

Well here I am EXPANDING MY HORIZON....my honey would be so proud...I did not want a computer on my counter and now I am on facebook and blogging...go figure..still learning at 67 years old. Christmas was not as hard as I anticipated....I guess I did most of my crying ahead of time..I kept thinking my honey is spending Christmas with Jesus this year and in no more pain or struggling with Leukemia or Chrones.  Tomorrow is our Family Christmas and we will miss Nicole as she lives in S.D. and has to work.  The day will be bitter sweet but we will make it because our God gives grace and peace just when we need it.
