I firmly believe in the power of prayer and I appreciate yours tremendously. I am one of those going through all the firsts without my mother.

I know you have carried my and my family's burdens to the throne of grace time after time. I cannot even begin to say how much this means to me. Your nurturing spirit and friendship are just invaluable gifts. How I praise God for you and the Godly example you are to us all. Yes, you are so right, those "firsts" are SO hard. The picture of the young man being ordained blessed my heart, too. You can just see the humility and Christlike spirit in that photo. I am sure it was a precious thing to have been there, and how wonderful that you have watched him grow up, and your husband could be one of the elders who ordained him for this new season of ministry. God bless you abundantly...you are such a dear blessing and encouragement to me.

You are always so kind and caring, and truly you are a blessing to all who are lucky enough to know you....and even those who don't know you, are blessed by the love gifts you make with your hands to keep them warm.

George's daughter will be with us for Christmas this year... (She's the one who recently last her husband.)<br /><br />I agree about all of the 'progress' all over the country. Soon there will be no beautiful landscapes to enjoy with all of the building going on! Grrrrrrr.<br /><br />As an old lady, I am here to tell you that I LOVE mittens --at my age!!!!!! ha..... I find that they keep my hands warmer than traditional gloves.....<br /><br />Your moon picture is good... I like the clouds mixed in around the moon. (I'm not a good moon-photographer at all --so I leave it up to George with his tripod.)<br /><br />Have a great week. <br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-28356489601889107572017-12-06T06:03:59.638-06:002017-12-06T06:03:59.638-06:00Your projects are so lovely.

I have had orders for scarves this winter, so I am making some extra cash at least. I know there are so many suffering health issues right now. Even though we are not gifting this year due to the large amount of medical bills, we are so very grateful for our health. I am still going to bake and make a meal, but no presents this Christmas. Have a blessed week!Pioneer Woman at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533698959389851926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-56125413275660179912017-12-06T00:43:33.363-06:002017-12-06T00:43:33.363-06:00I’m sorry for the stressful work times Becky.

I especially like the shawl and will look for the pattern on Ravelry. <br /><br />It's been cold here, too - barely 30° as of 1PM, but as winter solstice nears, I'm glad the snow we received on Monday has almost all melted. Last year at this time, there was over 13" on the ground. <br /><br />I love making "just because" gifts. Marilyn is going to love the afghan.
