Christmas this year was all about family. We didn't put up a Christmas tree or exchange presents. I didn't even bake a single goodie.
Instead we focused on family time, giving to others and the real reason for the season....Jesus' birth.
Gifts are nice but time with my family is priceless.

An Attitude of Gratitude
I am so thankful:
To be back in Colorado. This will be the first time in many years that we've spent Thanksgiving together. And we'll be thinking of the rest of the family in Michigan!!
That I still have a job. Last week 149 employees were laid off in our organization.
For my health. I thank God for every day of breathe and life.
My family. They are all precious to me.

A Favorite Psalm
When life gets crazy I love to read the Psalms.
Yesterday seemed to be one of those days.
I am concerned about our country and the how the elections could turn out.
A friend at work lost her mother yesterday and my heart goes out to her.
There are great concerns about a layoff where I work.
As I juggled the "what ifs" over and over in my mind, I was reminded of Psalm 31:15."My times are in Your hands."
Knowing God is in control brings me great comfort.

New Favorite Author
Just discovered a Christian author who writes "seatbelt suspense". I've read four of her books in the last three weeks. She is awesome!
Her name is Brandilyn Collins. She has authored many books but I decided to give her "Kanner Lake Series" a try. I was definitely not disappointed! Finding the time to read a few of the books in one or two sittings greatly increased the suspense of the story.
The series consists of "Violet Dawn", "Coral Moon", "Crimson Eve" and "Amber Morn". These fast-paced page turners will hold your attention until the very end.
As Brandilyn says "strap yourself in tight and don't forget to breathe".

Birthday weekend
Can't say that everything in life is perfect (who can?) but God is faithful and I'm so thankful for all I have.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I'm so grateful to be home. Spending my special day with my family is about the best present I could receive! :)
We are going to see "Fireproof" on Monday and I'm very excited! I've heard great things about the movie. See a preview here: Fireproof
Have a great weekend everyone!!

God's Promises
In the midst of:
My husband's four month job search..... God promises He is our provider
My husband's diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease..... God promises He is our healer
Our sweet little dog's diagnosis of a tumor in the bladder ....God promises He is our comfort and peace
The Psalms have been a great comfort to me lately. Even "in the midst" of life's problems, I feel peace in my heart and mind. God is good!
