And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:5-9

All is calm, all is bright

We just got back from the Dr. today. Livy is good. Her "allergy related" asthma meds are working nicely. Doc says he will keep her on them for a while. Thank you Lord! Livy is taking an early nap. She crashed after all the running we did this morning.

Last night we had our friends Jason, Meredith, and Abby over to eat with us. Had a good visit. I love all our friends. God is sure good to give us such great friends. Today, I'm doing laundry and other stuff. Got supper working in the crock pot. We are having Reuben sandwiches tonight with potato soup. YUMMO! I got the Cornish hens out and stuck them in the frig. for our Christmas Eve supper tomorrow. I may dabble in some candy making tomorrow. I'm thinking turtles and cookies will be in order. John will be off for a week starting tomorrow so it will be great to have him home. He works two days next week so he will get more time off next week. We love the holiday time!!

In closing, I want to leave you with a wonderfully well put quote by Abby Chamberlin. My friend Meredith recorded her daughter making Christmas cookies and put it on her blog. She asked Abby what Christmas is about. Abby said....

"It's all about baby Jesus. Not about Santa, or presents, or snowmen, or snow. It's about baby Jesus. And the angel said fear not for I bring you good tidings of great joy."

It was so precious!! I LOVE it!! You go Abby!
