Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Greetings again from
Kokomo, Indiana.

We continue to live our lives: our health concerns are in a
box on a shelf. We walk past it; we look at occasionally; we know it’s there.
Once in a while, we take it down and examine it: 2012 has seen special people
step into heaven, way too early in our opinion. In May, our dear sister-in-law
Janelle Hayes let go of this life and ran to her Father in Heaven. Also,
several men who have ministered to us, who were on the short list to step up
and help me when Mike became ill, have also moved on to Heaven. So much for
earthly plans.
Life’s funny like that, isn’t it?
Tis the season, also, for miracles. One side product of
living in a bubble of prayer – so many people pray for us daily – is that God
has opened my eyes to how He is working in the everyday. I’ve seen miraculous
answers to prayer and God has given me awareness to connect these with
requests. So good for those of us with short memories.
I’m blessed to be surrounded by many loving friends, like
the ladies in my small group. God has honored us with a few moved mountains
this year. Also, three of these ladies followed the Lord in Baptism just two
weeks ago.
Like many of you, we were way too caught up in the
contention of the presidential election. It got so that we just turned off the
television most of the time. You may know, my guy didn’t win. But, God’s guy
DID win. Don’t understand it but know that this is true.

"Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on
his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Talk about your miracles!
Merry Christmas! May God grant you a Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas, and now (since it is 10:30 on NYE) Happy New Year! love you guys! janis
