Naomi, Phillip and I watched the New Year come in alone this year. Our year began with attending our granddaughter, Abigail's 8th birthday. She thinks she is so grown up now. We love her so much. The first Sunday in the New Year we were blest to attend a candle light service at our church which included commune. What a sacred time. The sanctuary was so lovely. Now why didn't I have my camera with me?

Then our grandson Steven had his eardrum punctured and the doctor is allowing it to heal on it's own with God's Mercy we pray. Aaron, our youngest grandson (10 1/2 months) had tubes put in his ears by the doctor. His hearing loss was upgraded from severe to moderate. We are very grateful. He will still require hearing aides but the loss is less that thought at first. God has blessed us already this year and whatever the Lord brings in this coming year (whether good or ill) we are determined to trust Him and serve Him anyway. Our pastor spoke so eloquently on this subject and I appreciated it so much. God Bless each of you throughout the coming year.
Happy New Year!
