A New Year Wish What shall I wish thee this New Year? Health, wealth, prosperity, good cheer, All sunshine- not a cloud or tear? ... Nay! Only this: That God may lead thee His own way, That He may choose thy path each day, That thou mayest feel Him near alway, For this is bliss! Unknown |

| ...for downsizing my pretties. I have accumulated so much over the years that it is time to let some of it go. All these goodies were just listed in my Etsy store with more to come in the next few days hopefully. Hop on over and visit awhile if you are so inclined. :) |

Just sharing few of my favorite pics from the past year... |

...and praying for peace for those who desperately need it at this time of year. |

It happens every year. I always vow that the next year will be different, but it never is. I get all excited for Christmas , the decor, the lights, the gift giving and all that goes along with it. Cookie and candy making and love all around. BUT...every year as it gets closer and closer, my joy slowly disappears and I am once again searching for Christmas. The cookies and candy don't get made much anymore. I get too busy and too frazzled to get done what I want to and I just get in a blue mood. I know the true meaning of Christmas ..really I do and I am so thankful for it, but I don't have a clue how to go about fixing the way I feel. Every year I just want to run away from the hustle, and bustle and try to find that Christmas peace once again. Merry Christmas...praying that if you are searching like I am...you will find it anew. Blessings~ |

It started out as a normal day just like any other day. Pretty routine. Everyone gets up and goes to work, or prepares to start their day at home. I like to think that I pray for my kids and grandchildren every day, but there are those days that get so busy that I forget. This particular day...I don't remember. |

...but then came the text..."we are in the hospital with Keira. She had an accident at the Y and almost lost part of her finger"...talk about a jolt out of the blue!! If that doesn't shake you awake I don't know what will. I texted my son right back and he kept in touch with me for the next several hours via texting and phone calls. {thank God for amazing technology!! } |

Keira { our little 5 year old petite ballerina granddaughter} had gotten her hand caught in a large door at the Y and it made a mess of her finger. Such a tiny , sweet little girl who loves life so much and is so full of joy was going through a horrible ordeal and there was nothing I could do except pray. |
 |
I prayed that God would send an angel to watch over her and comfort her little body and mind at this time. |

She was so brave and such a little trooper and we are so proud of her. If I could have taken away her pain and put it on myself, I would have, but we all know that life isn't that way. Her finger got cut behind her fingernail at such a a downward angle that it literally almost took the end of her finger off. It did take off a little slice of bone and we are so very thankful that the doctors were able to fix her all up. Thankfully they gave her meds so she could sleep during the stitching. Below is a picture and if you are the least bit squeamish, you will not want to view it. Her tiny little finger is bloody and all stitched up at the end. She looks so tired in the photos, but that little stinker insisted on going to her preschool program that night. She did not participate in it, but she wanted to go and she did!! |
 |
We are so thankful that the accident was not any worse, but it goes to prove once again how life can change in a split second. Please keep her in your prayers that all will go well with the healing process. Live life to the fullest and cherish every single second! Sorry this isn't a pretty Christmas post...:) Blessings to each and everyone of you for Gods best in the New Year!! |
