Good morning from Dallas! It was brrr cold yesterday with Rain. I spent the morning with my mom with a stop at the Doc's, the store and then a fast lunch. Hoping to get her mended quickly and back on her feet again. This has been a rough winter for her already. Dad has a cold on top of it all, so keep them in prayer.

The above painting was done with a rag pull on canvas with my oil paints. This is my second rag pull painting. The first one sold on Daily Painters the day I posted it. I hope to do a third one this morning. Not sure of subject matter as of yet.

Wow, the holidays here have been so full. Highlights are difficult to choose from because it was all full of light and love and joy. We had more Christmas last night as Jonathan, our grandson came for dinner and gift exchange. He is such a joy to have in our home. We feasted on spiral ham from Whole foods, sweet potatoes, fresh tossed salad and steamed broccoli. Too full for dessert after all that. These memories will carry much joy and added pounds into the new year. Time to start the diet.

Billie flies home to NY today. BACK to the land of ice and snow. She cracked me up visiting as she walked around barefoot when it was 45 degrees outside. She loved Texas temperatures.... she swims when it is in the fifties in NY in the lake near her home. I would die even thinking about it. My blood is way thin after living in the south most of my life. I will cherish out time together along with my blue crocks I wear 24-7 now. Yes, she brought crocks into my life. I promised to take Jonathan to get a pair too!

What did Christmas bring into your life? My bounty is so deep I could not even begin to share it...the forever memories and moments, the laughter and the love....God is good. Take the joy into the new year.

Shalom,
Laurie

Messages for the Morning Watch- Studies in Genesis   " Is there anything too hard of Jehovah?" Gen 19:14   Next was the challenge of the day... paraphrased:  God wants you to think of the deepest, highest, worthiest desire and longing of your heart, something which perhaps w

The Thought:  Our youngest daughter is still very ill.   I am pumping her full of fruit and juices, mucinex and tylenol etc but it is not a positive thing right now. Does not look like we will make my older daughter's house for Thanksgiving.  I am sad because there will be new family to be attending along with everyone that has NOT been together since the dea
