Last Day of School / Ready for Winter Break

Today is the kids' last day of school for 2009! Both have had exams this week, and they're glad it's almost over. No big travel plans for the holidays. We'll be having Christmas at home on Thursday night with Lois (Sandra's mom), then going up to my parents on Friday. I know the kids are looking forward to the break. Sandra works most every day at the bank, but we'll have some afternoons to do some family fun.
I'm looking forward to the new year. Just the sound of a new year gives a sense of beginning again. I've strayed off the diet a little, so I'll need to get back at that, along with the exercising. I'm excited about the ministry direction at church. It's always exciting to know the Lord is working and leading; I pray everyone at church will get on board. There's always a few who seem uncomfortable with "C H A N G E". As I've told them, a healthy church is always in transition. We need to be ready when the Lord desires to move us forward for His glory and our good! I'm thankful for those who desire to be a part of the Lord's work and to be used as He leads us to higher ground! It's exciting to see the Lord work in the hearts of His people as they give of themselves for the furtherance of the Gospel.
What a great lifestyle; living for Jesus!
