Highlights From the Last Week or Two

Here they are, in no particular order:

*Our baby is walking! He still falls often or has to reach down to regain his balance, but he’s learning to motor. It’s so cute!

*Caleb and Logan each had a little “recital” for their last music lesson before Christmas. They are really enjoying playing!

*I had a great vist with Iris last weekend! Thank God for friends!

*I’m helping to plan the Christmas Eve service. While it has been a lot of work and a little bit of hassle, I’m really looking forward to seeing it all come together! God definitely has been helping us with it and our prayer is that He is glorified and hearts are drawn to Him!

*Keith and I are singing “How Deep the Father’s Love” with Keith and Debbie Fretz on Christmas Eve. It was fun practicing. That song is so beautiful and meaningful!! And I figured out how to play a C#m on the piano. (But I’m not playing tomorrow night! Robyn Schantz is playing for us.)

*I stepped on the scales this week and saw that I’ve lost 15 pound since September! Yippeeee! (Oops, I’m up a little today since I “feasted” too much yesterday.) More about that later…

*Keith took most of Wednesday afternoon off and I got to take as long as I needed to do a bunch of shopping and errands. I was gone almost 3 hours. It was so wonderful!! And when I got home, supper was almost ready. :-)

*I heard a guy on a radio call-in show talking about the history and meaning behind Christmas carols. Someone asked about “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” – where does it come from, etc. He said he researched the meaning of the words when they would have been written, and the song actually means, “God make you mighty, gentlemen…”. Ponder on that for awhile! It blessed me so much.
