Christmas flowers

While I'm making these flowers

I decided I should make a couple

of cards with them as well and

I love how they turned out.

I sent my son, Nathan, a condolence

text yesterday...OSU rules!  Cody suggested

I send him a sympathy card, LOL, so I

think  I'm going to get to work on that

right away.  I don't care one way or the

other which team wins, but he does and

that's the point!  I am a Buckeye, so

why would I root for Michigan?  I hate

that state anyway, for reasons I will

not go into.  But he's so into the rivalry

that I just have to tease him about it! 

 

It's raining this morning!  I want it 

to stay rain and nothing more as I

have to drive more than an hour to

get to my appointment.

 

Yesterday, my friend, LuAnn, my

daughter in law, Pam's mother,

had a Thanksgiving dinner for family

and friends and it was wonderful talking

to everyone and sharing a meal.  There's 

something about sharing a meal with

someone that brings you closer together.

It's no mistake, I think, that Jesus broke

bread with people because it relaxes

you and puts you in a more receptive

mood.  He had certainly had 

something they needed to hear! 

I found out yesterday that my ex's

grandfather died in August and

no one told me.  After John got sick I

kind of lost touch with him, but I did

send him a card here and there.  His

son got one I sent recently and found

my phone number to let me know.

I realized that I had never asked grandpa

if he was saved.  We didn't really get

into any in depth conversations.  He

lived in Ohio, over by Cleveland, so 

we talked by phone occasionally, but 

only briefly as he just didn't want to

stay on the phone long.  It's really  hard

for me to ask people if they are saved

because I feel like they think I am

judging them.  But it's important to

know.  From now on I will try to be

less self conscious about asking people

such an important question.

Happy Monday!
