Last night we attended a wonderful Christian concert at our hall here in the park. Dave and Daphne were really spectacular - Dave was really very funny. They sang some very beautiful hymns and gospel songs as well as some county. If you get a chance to see them, please do so, as you will certainly not be disappointed.
Bible study at Children's Haven is going well - we have more volunteers attending and a really good discussion group. Many things at Children's Haven are changing right now. The thrift store is being enlarged, so that is in a bit of a turmoil. It is going to be pretty awesome when the remodeling is finished - we will have so much more room. We have 5 new children at the refuge - a family that really needs the love and security that CHI can give them. We are so thankful that the Lord has provided for us so we can take care of these children who so desperately need our help. I know we cannot go out and save the entire world, but doing what we can does make a difference.
Our ladies Bible study has begun on Friday mornings. We will be studying "One in a Million" , a journey to the promised land. It has been very thought provoking to realize the many things that keep us from living an abundant life. Sally Maloney, who is leading this great study, is an inspiration to us to continue studying the word of God and applying it to our daily living.
We are long overdue for a trip to Progreso, Mexico - just as a shopping trip and for nothing else. We need to pick up a few medications and just have a day to enjoy the city. Regardless of the newspaper reports, there seems to be no danger in this area - they actually love us Winter Texans as we seem to help their economy.
Our pepper plant on the patio is doing well - it seems to have a couple of different plants in the pot, as some of the peppers are mild and some are very hot!!:-( But it is fun to grow them and use them in omelets.
A person never knows what it is going to taste like!!!

The moon here in S Texas has totally different shape as it does farther North. Isn't this the most perfect half moon shape you have ever seen, except that it seems turned upside down!!!!
Our grandchildren give us so much pleasure - they are all so very different in personalities and looks. This picture was taken this spring of our 4 granddaughters - a very candid shot of them just being themselves. God has blessed us in so many ways.

We pray that this New year is a blessing from God to you - that it brings all good things your way. We are looking forward to finding out where He is leading us this year and what wonderful surprises He has in store for us.
