My first Christmas without my honey.  This has been a week of both sorrow and joy.  Missing Frank and remembering the time last year with him in the hospital during Christmas week.  Knowing that he is healed now and with Jesus is the best present I can have without him.  Being able to be with Stephen’s family is always a joy.  So that is where I am now.  So glad to have such a wonderful and supportive daughter-in-law and her parents.  Beautiful time together.

Knowing that my God is good and always has our good in mind in the life events that we face has been such a comfort.  Reading in Galatians 4:4-5 “In the fullness of time God send forth His Son…” reminds me that God’s timing is always the best.  He has been my comfort and strength this past year and I know He will be in the future.  Praying that those I know and love will keep Christ (or choose to receive Him) in their hearts every day.
