When people have such a sincere faith in God it always overwhelms me. Its very easy in these times to deny or forget about his existance, so whenever i feel a genuine faith in God from someone i always feel blessed to have met them. I was not a believer until i reached 20 (3 and a half yrs ago) and i thank God not often enough for leading me his way and striping me of my arrogance of disbelief. Although we dont follow the same faith, i believe that you are one of Gods sincere followers and God willing he will continue to guide you and reward you with a delightful re-birth in Paradise. Amen. xxAqeelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002608982845056769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-71054740428777026052008-01-03T17:48:00.000+00:002008-01-03T17:48:00.000+00:00Nearly a year of blogging, doesn't time go fast?

You truly give Him the glory and it warms my soul. Your New Years sounds fabulous. We had a big crowd in, with various age groups of our friends, and my kid’s friends. It was fun, entertaining. But not as focused on God as yours was...I must admit I am a tiny bit jealous.

We went to an early dinner then to a movie. Today was a fun day with my in-laws coming to our annual New Years day lunch...complete with black-eyed peas, greens( we do spinach and broccoli) macaroni and cheese, pork tenderloin and pineapple. Again, all southern fixins, pretty tasty. We watched football and just visited. <BR/>Blessings to you in 2008. Keep telling the STORY of how great our GOD is!

We celebrated the New Year coming to Phoenix which is one hour ahead of us.

In the afternoon our grandson & family came to visit. Maybe that will be the start of a new tradition. He is 7 months old today. <BR/><BR/>We had a lovely dinner of baked ham and veggies. In the evening we watched a movie and we both went to bed before midnight. <BR/><BR/>Today we are getting a snow storm for the beginning of January. I'm just putting away the last of the little village I put up, playing on the computer, reading, and doing some crochet.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114199768103222510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-81075721035263550582008-01-01T13:59:00.000+00:002008-01-01T13:59:00.000+00:00New beginnings...that's nice to think about.

God is full or promises and surprises, too.<BR/><BR/>Your evening sounded very special. Neighbors getting together to ring in a New Year and to support one another in prayer...what a concept!<BR/><BR/>Since you asked, my niece called me to say that pizza had been ordered and would I please join her. So off I went and had a lovely couple of hours visiting with her and a friend. Then, since I was just a few houses up the street from my mom and grandmother, I went down to drink a toast to the New Year with them.<BR/><BR/>I actually even saw the ball drop in NYC as I was reading blogs at midnight. Some things are so addicting...<BR/><BR/>God's very best to you in 2008!Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-31197862740480069782008-01-01T12:44:00.000+00:002008-01-01T12:44:00.000+00:00God bless you real good in the New Year and always...God bless you real good in the New Year and always.<BR/>May 2008 be our best year yet.<BR/>Love Jeanne ^j^Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16734743330025974332noreply@blogger.com
