Today I would say is the first day
I really rested...
(Perhaps this is ironic as most people are so busy
at this time of year!)
I am fighting a cold but am feeling pretty good over all,
just a bit exhausted from the insomnia...
*
I took a short walk late in the afternoon;
I love the stark beauty of winter here in Michigan.
Beauty can be seen every where;
I think it is that we just need to have our eyes opened...
Beauty opens to us more and more
as we seek God and cultivate a thankful heart...
I was able to get a hold of the dermatologist today
about the medical tests I had;
still waiting on the X-Ray
(most likely will not know about this one until
after Christmas);
so the tests so far are good -
have to recheck one thing in about a month
to be sure,
but the initial news is good.
So this is a relief.
I will be glad, however,
when I have the final tests in a month to be sure.
Tomorrow I hope to make some
simple Christmas things.
*
We are praying that Rebecca (my sister) and Mark (bro-in-law)
make it home tomorrow from London;
sounds like they had a good day today and
we are happy that they made it to London!
*
They are due in tomorrow just before 7 pm;
I am full of anticipation of their arrival.
*
Fitting: anticipation:
we are waiting the New Born King
the most waited for of all.
*
Praying that God will be near all of us in these times;
holidays are joyful but often also painful for
many;
God is near the brokenhearted,
and He will never abandon His children.
Let us keep our courage and hope.
