What a great Christmas season we had here. I kept telling Luis that this was the best Christmas that I have had in a long time. I am not sure why...maybe it's because we are out of debt...maybe it was because Luis was home for the whole week after Christmas...maybe it had something to do with having lots of snow fall on Christmas Day...probably a combination of everything. I guess the bottom line is that I just feel very blessed. Blessed to have a beautiful home, with a wonderful family, and the peace of the Lord in our hearts. Luis returned to work this morning, and the boys go back to school tomorrow. My routine will slowly get back into the groove. 2011 has begun!
Luis called for a 40-day fast in our church beginning today. There is a personal need in one of the families in our church that we are praying for, and we are also praying for God to work in our little church. We are also supposed to make a list of things in our own life that we would like to see God accomplish this year, and keep that list the whole year through to see how God has answered our prayers. I am excited to see what God has in store for this new year. In going along with the prayers, I am fasting facebook and sweets...two things that call my attention way more than they should! The harder of the two is facebook, but since Luis is also giving it up, we won't be tempting each other with it. (So, if you are reading this, and usually talk to me on facebook, send an email or text instead.)
So, I wish you all a happy, peaceful and prosperous New Year! May God's blessing abound to you and yours all year long!
