New Year...

Well, it is the new year again. I have been waiting for today since before Christmas...the day the kids go back to school. For our house, however, only one was able to go, the other has a bad case of strep throat. It is not as bad as the case of Scarlet Fever the other one had after Thanksgiving, but it is still not a fun thing.(Just so you know Scarlet Fever is now known as Strep Throat with a rash...)

We had a very nice and quiet Christmas with not too much running around and general holiday craziness. Hubby's sister and her beau came for Christmas supper at our house this year and it was really a nice time. My hubby's first Christmas service was all that it should be and more and the Lord's Supper was humbling as ever. When you have to stop and think if you are worthy of taking the 'sacraments'(lest we feel Catholic... crackers and grape juice) it really makes you look back over the months and ponder.

I hope that this new year leads my family into closer communication with our Lord and that we answer his calls, whatever they may be. I hope our hearts are open and we are allowed to hear God's voice calling to our hearts. May the new year hold great things for your family as well, and may your heart yearn to hear God.
