NO Resolutions

I wont bore you with my rant on New Year's Resolution here again this year. I think I covered it fully last year at this time. I dont make resolutions, I find it pointless.

I was listening to KLOVE yesterday, however, and they had a great alternative to making New Year's Resolutions and I'm gonna give it a go. They encouraged everyone to pick one single word. It can be anything. The goal is to start each day with the word on your mind and find a way to make it relevant throughout the day. "A word to live by" sorta speak. After pondering that concept for a while, I came up with my word. It will be "HOLY". In all that I do, all that I speak and all of my thoughts I will strive to be more Holy.

Im not saying that until now I havent tried to be holy, but lets face it, life happens and with all the distractions its very easy to put God on the back burner some days. Im gonna strive NOT to do that.

Anyone want to join me? What would you choose for your word?
Have Blessed New Year.

Remembering.......

It's that time of year again when we take a few moments to let the people in our lives know just how much they mean to us by adding a hand written note to all our Christmas cards. As John and I sat down to work on them this evening, it was a subtle reminder that his mom will be celebrating her first Christmas in Heaven this year. As happy as I am for her, I am equally saddened for all of us.

We miss her so very much. Then I started looking through old photos and found this one of Gramma J and Autie. It's one of my favorites. It made me smile so Im posting it here. Im going to do my very best to carry that smile with me in the coming weeks. I can smile because I know there is a hope and a future in Christ.

Im so anxious for the Lord's return. I long for the day when we see Jesus face to face and can be reunited with all the people we love who made it home before us.
