This is the first year that I have given myself permission to take all of December off from schooling and it has been wonderful!
Anyway, that's why I've been so quiet lately. We have been enjoying lots of family time this month. I think a month-long break is just what we needed! We have played games, eaten pizza, looked at Christmas lights, listened to Christmas music, burned scented candles, tried new recipes, enjoyed family get-togethers, gone shopping (both IRL and online), watched the birds, made Christmas ornaments, and lounged around in our PJ's and slippers as much as possible. :-D
Life has been so laid-back and relaxed that I don't know how we'll ever get back on track come January, but I'm not going to think about that right now. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. For now, I'm enjoying making memories with my family and letting all the worries and stresses roll right off my back. They'll be there for another day. But for today I'm going to get my Love Bank filled back up with kisses and hugs and quiet conversations (while making those same kinds of deposits into each of my loved one's Love Banks) and regain the strength to face all those worries and stresses that will still be waiting for me come January. I think that by then they won't seem so big anymore anyway. ;-)

P.S. - I think it is absolutely wonderful that you took time off in December to rest and get refreshed. You Go Girl! :-)
Posted by Suzanne This brought tears to my eyes.
I'm soooo thankful to God that her problems will *never* seem big because she'll never have any more problems! Praise God!
May the Lord bless you and keep you,
The Lord make His face to shine upon you.
(That actually comes from Numbers 6:24-26
"The Lord bless you, and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine on you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace."')
Posted by Javie Thank you, Missey, for this lesson. Enjoy Jesus today, in person. I pray that your family will be comforted in knowing you are with Him.
