Happy Christmas to my family, friends and followers near and far away in the nations. Thank you so much for your love, encouragement and support over this past year. It is always exciting to see your flags in my stats box, Canada, USA, Israel, Ireland, UK, Greece, Cambodia, Russia, Australia, Slovakia, South Africa, Uganda, Ethiopia, Korea and the Phillipines. Thanks for your comments.
The empty nest has filled up again with children home for Christmas. It is good to see one another. Children have a tendency to want to catch up on sleep. I wonder why? Isn’t that what home is for, to crash and recover from work and student life.
Where there are no oxen, the stall is clean, but from the strength of an ox come abundant harvests. (Proverbs 14:4 NIV)
With family here there is washing, cooking and cleaning to be done, but there is more strength to get logs cut, and some early spring cleaning done in the home and the garden.
As we have food, fellowship, fun and family times, let us not forget to thank God our Father for all his blessings. His Son came on earth to set mankind free from sin, sickness and the oppression of the devil. Let us turn to him and seek his revelation and blessings for the new year.
I heard this hymn recently,
God sent his son,
They called him Jesus
He came to love
Heal and forgive
He lived and died
To buy my pardon
An empty grave
Is there to prove
My Savior lives.
Chorus
Because he lives
I can face tomorrow
Because he lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because he lives.
Brendan and I sung this chorus on the way to hospital to hear what treatment the doctor was going to give me for Cancer. All fear left us.
May we face the New Year with this hope, that God is near and wants to help us and he holds the future.

Hello Julieanna, Nice to hear from you. Why wait any longer. You are going to be busy the next few years, places to go, Hungary, Dawson Creek, and Ireland. Get the intercessors working on it. Yes next year will be more than we can ask or think. Thank you Heavenly Father. Love to John, from Angela
Amen. I love the words of that chorus – encouraging and uplifting. God is good.
Every blessing to you and your household for the coming year. May you be blessed with health, joy, peace and His presence. Much love to you all, Toni <
