All I Want for Christmas

by 6 Comments

Just pondering my “Christmas list”. It looks quite different this year…

1. Peaceful evenings during the month of December, allowing time for reading or playing games with my wee one

2. A clean house

3. All my papers filed and organized

4. Chris’ tools sorted and organized in some fashion that makes sense to me

5. Extended time with friends

6. NOT a lot of snow

7. The ability to celebrate Christ’s birth from the perspective of joy rather than through the heart of a grieving widow

8. Kisses from heaven

9. Surprises from God

10. A pleasant dream about Chris in heaven

11. Invitations to speak and share “my story – God’s story” (not necessarily at Christmas) – just the invitations to start coming in during this season. It gives me hope and focus.

12. A blanket of love enveloping Anna and me

13. Wisdom. Lots of wisdom concerning several potentially big undertakings in 2012.

14. Restoration

15. Deliverance

16. Healing

17. Authentic prayers being lifted up for Anna and me

18. A Chris Tree full of ornaments

19. Lots of laughter

20. To see or hear about someone coming to Christ as a direct result of my husband’s death

VLOG #3 – Still Answering Your Questions!

I apologize for the issues with today’s VLOG post. Oh boy…my patience has been tried today! Anyway, I think it’s “public” now and not giving the “private” message anymore (I hope). However, the picture is off to the right a little bit. The video is cleaner to watch if you view it through YouTube, but I was originally more centered on the screen. Anyway…sorry for the issues. Hopefully, I’ll do better next time.
