Post-Christmas Nuggets........

Nugget #1......Today is Sunday (Dec 27th) and we have had snow starting at 11 pm last night. Then, it switched to hail/ice pellets at 5:30 this morning. Then sleet around 8 am mixed with the biggest snowflakes I have ever seen! It is now 2 pm and it is still snowing outside. I do not know how much the total snow fall has been but church services were canceled this morning and the weather report says that more ice/sleet is on its way at 3-4 pm.

Since we could not go to church, we had special singing this morning as a family. We sang about 15 old-fashioned hymns and had a great devotion from Proverbs 27. I love those old fashioned hymns and I enjoy singing the old hyms that I made so many spiritual decisions while singing!

Nugget #2......Christmas was wonderful. Our girls were surprised with a used dollhouse that we purchased off of ebay. Joshua received an MP3 player that we downloaded good conservative Christian music onto and he wants to download sermons from some of our favorite preachers. We spent Christmas eve reading Luke 2, praying, and then reading some Christmas stories. We opened a couple of gifts and enjoyed our family time. On Christmas day, we enjoyed a wonderful Turkey meal with some great sides that Kami made. We love the special seasons and especially one that is all about Christ!

Nugget #3......The Tuesday before Christmas, we went to a special church service held at the Home for the Aged in Port Neuf. There was special singing by our kids and other church families. Joshua preached a great salvation/Christmas message on "Jesus was born to allow us to have a second birth." It was a great salvation message. We gave the elderly ladies some gifts made by the children of the church and some flowers.
All in all, we have had a wonderful Christmas season!
