It's hard to believe, but another Christmas has come and gone. I pray your Christmas was full of love and blessings. I'm so thankful ours was uneventful(a large family gathering and a small Christmas Eve meal), but also a little sad... 2018 is almost over... Where did another year go?  I had planned on writing many more posts this year, but it just didn't happen. My word for this year was "change". Yes, I admit, there were several things that brought change for me in 2018...some were good, many were very difficult.  Other changes that were anticipated never occurred.  I'm realizing that's real life, though. It brings lots of  surprises, followed by numerous disappointments.  But, it's just been one year out of many. The truth is, the best any of us can do in this life is just do our best and trust God for the rest. As I think back over 2018, I know I am blessed with changes that I have experienced!!...
