A Visit from Gerry and Connie

It was wonderful to visit and fellowship with Gerry and Connie, even if it was for a short time.  We were able to show them the beautiful house the Lord has provided for us and  our church building.

Who Did It?

Mother always knew who it was that did the rearranging.  I guess it was the guilty look I had on my face.  Kari took over the job when the angels came to our house.  Ah, memories!!

Family Memories for my sisters

It makes me think of Mother when I put these out each Christmas.  I found the red candles for the little angels wrapped in tissure paper labeled in Mother's writing with a rubber band(elastic) around it. It brought tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat.

Enjoying the foot of Wisconsin snow

Allison, Bryn and Caden so enjoyed all the beautiful snow for Christmas.  Even Sammie enjoyed a good frolic in the snow...even after getting locked in the garage.

Christmas with the grandkids

Christmas at the Parsonage

This was our Christmas Prayer Meeting on Wednesday .  We invited the church to the parsonage for an open house /prayer meeting. There were almost 40 people and we had a wonderful time of fellowship.

We have just finished the Thanksgiving weekend. What a joy it was to spend Thanksgiving Day with one of our church families! We concluded Sunday with the viewing of the film "The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry" at Calvary Baptist Church in Barron. It is a film worth seeing. It has a powerful message for old and young alike

First Big Storm of the Season

   Well, we got our first big snowstorm since we arrived inWisconsin.  There is a big drift in front of the garage and another big drift on the front deck.  We had no reason to venture out today, so the Christmas tree continues to be decorated.  We also cancelled our Prayer Meeting  for tonight.  Although, now this evening the wind has died down quite a bit. 
   On Friday night there is to be Ladies Christmas Fellowship and Baby Shower.  Hopefully, the roads will all be plowed and the wind will go to sleep.
   We will just have to get used to "winter in the country."
