More Thankfuls

Well, another week. And, of course more Thankfuls.

I am so grateful for and thankful for:

• The safe arrival of precious Aiden.
• Seeing my son a Daddy.
• Seeing hubby a Grandpa.
• Enjoying Christmas with family...twice.
• Being able to give gifts.
• Receiving thoughtful gifts.
• Being wonderfully surprised by hubby's special gift this year.
• Having lots of wonderful rain, and enjoying hearing it come down.
• Rose scented Yankee Candle.
• Holding Aiden and watching him sleep and make cute faces while sleeping, and listening to his little noises.
• The incredible love of my Savior.

Aiden

We got to meet Aiden today. What a cutie. A very adorable Christmas gift...even if he did come Christmas eve! We are grateful for this precious bundle from the Lord.

God is Good.

And being a Grandma is fun.

Merry Christmas Everyone

I am rejoicing in the joy of the birth of our Saviour.

I am also rejoicing in the joy of the birth of Aiden Charles Murray Pass, born 12/24/07 at 11:59. It is fun to be a Grandma!

Merry Christmas everyone, as we celebrate the birth of the King.

Of computers, turning 98 and other things...

I have decided that I am really very spoiled. We are a two computer family, which is a huge blessing that I am very grateful for. However, this week, my trusty laptop decided to go on strike. Sigh. My capable son - in -law is working on it, trying to convince it not to be on strike, but meanwhile, hubby and I have to SHARE! Thankfully, he is willing to let me use his some, so I am not totally lost. But, it is not quite like sitting in my comfy recliner with my own computer, set up the way I am used to!

In other things, I am thankful for:

• My mother. She turned 98 this week, and I was able to contact her by phone 3 times on various days, which was a huge blessing to me, as she often does not hear her phone, or is away from it, sitting in her wheelchair.
• My neice- who went to see her Grandma twice this week. What a blessing that was for Great Sweet Grandma to enjoy her great grandchildren.
• Two days of work this week. I am very thankful for my work, even though it is high stress at times. And, I am very thankful that I am back to my normal schedule now of only one day of work a week!
• Enjoying Christmas lights. A bonus of driving home after 10 at night- seeing all the lights still on! One place we pass by has a huge display of white lights that is breathtaking.
• Having nearly all of my shopping for Christmas done. Always such an answer to prayer, having the funds, and having the ideas of what to do for who. Now, I must get busy and wrap.
• Enjoying Christmas music. And being reminded over and over the real Reason we celebrate this season.

Of decorating, cookies, robberies and such...

This week I enjoyed decorating some for Christmas. This season is such a joy, celebrating the birth of my Saviour, and it is delight to me to be able to do things around my house to remind me of that first Christmas. Our olive wood nativity scene came from Jerusalem- thanks to Penny!
Other Thankfuls:

• Baking Christmas cookies yesterday in anticipation of our annual Cookie Swap this afternoon.
• Successfully finishing extra long hours at work this week.
• Safety for us when the bank next to where I work was robbed on Thursday.
  
• Rejoicing in the joy of my niece who is now officially courting! (And looking forward to her visit in a few weeks!)
• Shopping with hubby.
• Enjoying the breakfast burritos hubby made for dinner last evening.
• Knowing that I can trust the Lord for wisdom. He promised to guide and instruct me, and I am so thankful. I need His direction daily, and am so thankful I can rely on Him. He is faithful.
• Enjoying the progress of the house being built in back of us.
• Pine scented candles.
• Rain! Lovely, wonderful, rain.
  
• Jalapeño flavored Pringles.
