Because of weather conditions I didn't go to church on Sunday, December 22nd, so I was feeling lonely and sad UNTIL Mirla Reyes called me that afternoon. Her love and sweetness changed my attitude to gratitude.
How wonderful to get a message with love on Christmas morning from Teresa Masters. We hadn't been in touch since November 2020.
My daughter Jenny and her husband Bill invited me and some neighbors for brunch on Christmas. That afternoon, they boarded a plane for Las Vegas from Columbus, Ohio. I will be praying for their safe travel because there is a record amount of people flying this season.
In a recent edition of the SSN&S, there were letters to Santa. I remember proofing the letters when I worked at the newspaper. They are such fun to read, and indeed I did again this year - but no proofing.
Here I am at the end of 2024, looking back at what God has blessed, provided, helped and brought me through. The song 'Through It All' has the words: 'I've learned to trust in God and depend upon His Word.' God needs me to trust him and to be a witness to how He has helped, guided, supported and loved me!
Proverbs 3:5..NIV....Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
