How’s your year going so far? 😀 We spent a fun afternoon/evening barbequeing with the neighbours… laughing with the ones we’ve met, getting to know some we hadn’t met yet…

I think it’s going to be a good year…

I’m not making resolutions, although I’ve been organising my life a bit to help me get all the things done this year that I need to do..

Here’s my reading for today. I thought it was something for me to remember as I wander through the months ahead..

“Yet I am always with you;
you hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterward you will take me into glory.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.”
Psalm 73:23-26

May your year be blessed, and may God be the strength of your heart, and your portion!

You’re Here

This was sung as part of our Christmas services this year… there are quite a few beautiful songs from Mary’s perspective – they help me remember that she was a real, and quite young, woman, faced with a huge responsibility, and given a huge blessing…

Here’s another Christmas song, from a different perspective – by a “heathen, and a pagan… on the side of the rebel Jesus”

Have a blessed and joyous Christmas!

What Do You Expect For Christmas?

We’ve had this video at church for the last two weeks… Jesus’ story throughout the history of the world… a glimpse of what we celebrate in a few days 😀

I couldn’t figure out how to embed it, and couldn’t buy the download, so here’s the link to have a look at it… it’s well worth the effort!

Meeting The Neighbours

Had a lovely afternoon yesterday, meeting the neighbours in our complex – the agents/managers (not sure what they are..) put on a barbeque so we could get to know everyone else.. we have a great neighbourhood! 😀 Stayed talking for most of the afternoon, while the kids went swimming..

We supplied a gingerbread house, which we made with the boys, from a kit given to us by a lovely friend… here it is –

We have been so blessed – with a beautiful house to live in, and neighbours we will enjoy getting to know… this will be a good Christmas season 😀

Anticipating…

Now, I know the true meaning of Christmas, and that’s what I’ll be celebrating next week 😀
… but, for the last few years, the Christmas season has also been the time for a Dr Who special… I’m looking forward to this one!
Here’s some Dr Who inspired Pinterest images… enjoy!

Gingerbread!

Went to a Women’s event at church last Friday, where we made gingerbread houses… the object seemed to be to see how many sweets we could cram on to one small house. It was lots of fun! The general consensus seemed to be that if your house stayed up, it was a success 😀
