We did enjoy our Thanksgiving meal. It was a good day overall.<br />Thankfully, the health issues have improved some this month so far. The other issues may actually be even harder to resolve over the long run, but God is gracious. I pray He grants my husband and I wisdom to show the love of Christ to those who need to see it.<br />So far this month has had some big challenges too. My brother lost his job, a friend of a friend was murdered and one of our donkeys died under mysterious circumstances (possibly a snake bite). I can't dwell on it or it's all overwhelming! Again, there have been blessings too.Mary E.

A clean up in the yard and house always feels so good, seeing the building up of "stuff" going and leaving a clean space is quite liberating!! Issues, either health or otherwise often strike when we least expect but the Lord is always there ready to give us the strength that we need and the encouragement to get through these problems, He knows us by name and wants to carry our problems for us, just sometimes we are a little stubborn!! May December be a joyful month for you :)Finding Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882774610725490491noreply@blogger.com
