Another foggy Christmas
I got to thinking, since I've been back in Kansas, I have yet to have a Christmas season where I am feeling good and am able to fully enjoy all the excitement of the season. I was starting to feel sorry for myself. Then, as happens a lot, God reminded me that the world doesn't revolve around me. I love the Christmas season; lights, hot cocoa, carols, the hope of snow, picking out a Christmas tree, seeing and loving on family and friends. JESUS. Nothing else really matters.
It doesn't have to be December. Life is always going to have some fog, sometimes a lot thicker than others. But there's always The Good News that shines enough light, so that we can see clearly enough to keep going. JESUS.
Two years ago in December, I was extremely nauseated. Our second baby was on it's way. Last year I had strep throat twice, with a mono diagnosis just around the corner. This year, I'm throwing up again. So grateful that it means there's another baby on it's way.
So, it's another foggy Christmas. And as I think about our own good news of baby #3, I am humbled by The Good News. JESUS. My Savior and hope amidst the fog.
"And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.'" Luke 2:9-11

Zane & Company
We've had a visitor this week. Zane's good friend Mindy was able to spend some special time with us this week. We have been very thankful for this week, because Mindy is getting ready to move. Here's just a little bit of the fun that was had!

Yes, Gemma is wearing the raincoat again.
I love my...
It rained this week. We pulled out the raincoat that Gemma got for Christmas last year. It fits perfectly this year and Gemma thinks it's wonderful. In fact, the day we got out in the rain, we couldn't take the coat off or she would start crying. And here you will see, she brought it to me to put on before she ate breakfast...
Zane never did this.

Daily Bread
We're teaching our children that the Bible is our daily bread, but Gemma is taking it very literally right now. The child wants bread at EVERY meal...and inbetween.
