We left Portland early Christmas Eve morning and flew to South Carolina to surprise our two oldest grandkids for Christmas. My words can’t capture the moment as well as this video.
(You will need to turn off my blog music on the bottom left of my homepage first.)
I continue to count my thanks
piling up gratitude day by day
in my little green journal…
#1535-#1549
-soup and sandwiches shared with oldest daughter and her family
-an unexpected dinner out with the Hubs on Tuesday night
-a wonderful evening of fellowship at the home of a dear couple from our church
-celebrating Christmas early with our oldest daughter and her family
-an amazing Christmas dinner, service and outreach to the community on Friday night with our church, (Truelife Church), helping our son-in-law and daughter’s church, (Hope City),…over 300 came, over 20 new commitments to Christ
-all of the volunteers from Hope City and Truelife Church who made it possible
-more than enough food donated to feed everyone
-a safe, uneventful flight to South Carolina (bulkhead seat with no one else in our row too!)
-the joy when our grandkids saw us
-the Hubs annual blessing written out and read over our children
-a wonderful Christmas
Gratefully yours,
Elizabeth
