I'm Livin' Through a White Christmas

Well, we've survived 7 more inches of snow in the last two days, including a lot of sleet today. What a mess ... but we were able to hold our Christmas Eve candlelight service. It was very well attended, despite the winter weather. Grace felt well enough to attend, and even directed the Chime Team. They played at the beginning, Orchestra and organ accompanied most of the Christmas carols and hymns, and the choirs all sang well! Glory to God in the highest, and peace to His people on earth.

Grace continues to recover, getting a little stronger every day. Sarah, Mary and Matt are helping out around the house to keep up with kitchen, laundry and cleaning chores. Jeff pitches in as well, keeping especially busy with snow removal. Unfortunately, we can't make it disappear. But God is sending a heat wave in a few days that threatens to saturate the snowpack even more with lots of rain. Could be a lot of problems around here with flooding and leaking roofs.

We're going to enjoy a Family Christmas, and wish you all a very blessed Christmas. Celebrate His birthday and share the gift of His love. God bless us everyone!
