Happy New Year! 2011

Merry Christmas!
Wow, I can't believe it is here! The girls are all snug in the PJ's their Aunt Rhiannon sent and are safely snuggled in their beds.
Mye had two febrile seizures yesterday, but is doing well. She is coming down with a cold, I believe.
Sey was unable to sing in the Christmas program due to a cold, but we had a wonderful time with my Aunt Dum and my two pretty cool cousins on Christmas Eve.
Thank you, Father, for sending your son Jesus! Thank you for wonderful family!

Another year has come and gone.

Wonderful things have happened: Family marriages and births. Selah has had no further seizures, and Myelle has only had three seizures.

Sad things have happened: Friends have passed away... Family members have illness and pain...

How is my attitude? Sadly, it is ugly all too often. As our little Selah was heartbroken and sobbing tonight as she thought of Jesus dying on that cross, we need to remember that our sins put Him there, but He did not stay. He is alive. He is waiting for us. Let us come to Him daily.

He turns the red ~ white. Praise God!

One convicting quote I heard Leonard Ravenhill quote on a YouTube video called “Selah” has stuck with me. The author is unknown. “Only one life,'twill soon be past, only what's done for God will last. And when I am dying, how glad I shall be, if the lamp of my life has been burned out for Thee.” Isn’t that convicting as well as encouraging? May we burn out our lamps for Jesus. He is the one we need to live for. He is the only one to live for.

May you be encouraged this season to live your all for Him!

We hope to see you on Christmas Eve at the Christmas Program at RCF!

Love in Christ,
May, Lay, Sey, and Mye

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:1-14

Fun with Moogie and Gumpy

The impromptu grahm cracker houses we made tonight were a hit.

Each year we do a Jesse Tree to remind us each day of December of Jesus.

Lots of cousins got together at Moogie and Gumpy's house for a sleep over.

We did not stay for that, but did go to visit and make chocolate gingerbread cookies.

It was fun getting to visit with T and A who we have not seen for months since they now live in Mexico.

All the kiddos are getting so big and are they FUN!

We put up the nativity.

Fun with Daddy

Daddy and 2 other cool guys stood in front of the court house around the Christmas tree durning the tree lighting ceremony holding 3 signs pointing people to the reason for the season: Jesus. Another guy handed out tracts. Pretty cool that we can still do this in America. Lets pray that this continues. Lets do it by supporting those who do.

Happy Thanksgiving!

  

 

Thank you, God, for these little pilgrims and their Daddy!

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
