December 31

Wow, here we are at the end of another year.
Time ready does seem to fly by, doesn't it?
I think of how much things have changed...
and how much has stayed the same.

God has blessed us so abundantly again this year.
We welcomed Blake into our family.
We were blessed with enough work to keep Rich busy this year again.
We had food and shelter, clothes and a good school for the kids.
We were allowed to go to God's house every Sunday again.
And he has blessed us with our health.
We think of others that are so seriously sick.
We see it in our own extended family and it breaks our hearts.
May He still grant healing, if it is His will.

We think of the year past,
and where it has brought us.
And the coming year...
And where it will take us from here.

We may humbly hope that He will again provide for us
as He has so richly in the past.
We wish you all the Lord's blessing in 2012.
