Didn’t sleep as well as I hoped – but I’ll make it to bed time! Church and Sunday School went well – we voted on a new Next Gen minister (for our kids teenage and younger). I’m fairly certain he will get voted in. I am thoroughly enjoying the Sunday School lessons on Revelation – finally making sense of some of it!

Pat is a member at the church my brother in law preaches at. She’s very talented. (*Copywrite)
Todd’s message was still in the B-Attitudes. We are the salt and light of the world. That is our identity. It’s a privilege with a great responsibility. How? Love people until they ask WHY? God blesses us so we can bless others through us. We reflect God’s light — a lighthouse doesn’t move so you would follow it. The light is constant and we can shine so others can see their way home. You might be the only Jesus others ever see.

Too many people feel this way!

Deb made a sweet treat mix and shared some with me – Cheerios, pretzels and M&M’s – mixed together and coated with melted white chocolate chips. Very yummy and hit the spot! Especially since I sent most of the cookies home with Christina!

Sweet treat from Deb (what I haven’t already eaten!)

Chrissy’s cookies
When she got there we had a bowl of Cream of Potato Soup and I sent the rest home with her. Along with some cheese, a few dark chocolate covered mini-cookies, and most of the cookies we made. We worked together and it worked out smoothly and they tasted very yummy!

She brought her little warmable bunny with her – he had a little hole under his arm and was losing his stuffing. I sewed it right up, and said if it turned out to be ‘cancer’ bring him back for more surgery! Chrissy and I had a lot of interesting, informative, and fun conversations and enjoyed our day together.

My friend Mary sent me a txt this morning that her family was taking a day trip to Lake Erie today. She shared some pictures which I’m posting here. I don’t remember ever going to the lake in the winter when we were at Mom’s!

The Lake covered in ice.

Beth sent me a picture of her TY Skunk that Mom gave her. I’m excited that she has one! She also got a little Bear – Duck for Cameron. How cool is THAT?

So now I’m finishing up this post and having a cup of hot tea and cookies. That’s it for today!

Today I am thankful for Chrissy’s visit!
