Church's new year

This year my resolution is to be more joyful in all parts of my life. It is easy to be joyful with strangers and friends; harder to be so with family. Lord, help me to get over myself and into YOU. May I be joyful in all situations. May I learn my lessons from you well. When things get tough, what are you trying to teach me?

Boundaries

What do you do when people have no thought or care of your feelings, only theirs? Christ calls us to serve but not be walked on. To love unconditionally, but that doesn't encompass giving up any part of what Christ has called me to do. I do not have peace when I am around some people. That means I am not in God's peace. I am not listening to what I am supposed to do or say or act in that person's presence. Lord, give me the Grace and Wisdom to know, and the courage to change my actions. Change is what I need to do, despite other's reactions. God's peace at all costs.

Winter and Christmas are coming.

The season of Christmas will be the most difficult. Christmas was always Don's favorite.
I am going to just have a small tree and put it in the dining room. The living room gets too hot and a tree doesn't really fit with Pepere's desk in the tree spot anyway. I ordered dusk to dawn lights for the windows. I am not going to decorate the front trees with lights. I will get a wreath. The one saving Grace is Noah will be around.

Winter is coming

It has been 9 months today since my husband died. I am sad today.
I let my sauerkraut sit too long and ruined it. I have to start again.
I think I am about ready for winter. I have the roof insulated, the windows in, a door and new rug.
I get to see my grandson and son every other weekend.
My classes are doing fine. I am glad when they are over, but I am glad I am taking them.

Went to see my nephew race.

Well, I let everyone on facebook know I have a blog. I should write in it. I went Abbie to see my nephew race.
