Thank you for sharing in the joy of having my girl Sam
and her family back home!  It was a beautiful, safe trip
and they are beginning to get nestled in to enjoy this

MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!!


I get a bit melancholy at this time of the year ever since my
parents passed away, but at the same time, I get so filled
up with JOY for the blessing of knowing the wonderful,
mighty Christ whose birth we celebrate at every year's end.


What an amazing gift God gave to us!  Pondering what this
season is really all about always gives me renewed joy,
renewed sense of purpose, and a vision that will carry me
into the new year ready to impact the world for HIM.

I read a quote the other day that said this:

Be careful what you do today...

Because you will be spending a
day of your life doing it!



Such wisdom!  I can't remember where I read it, but
I love it, and I want to make my days count for something
that will last!!!  You know...

to infinity eternity and beyond!!!
{couldn't resist!}



I am more determined than I ever have been to further
deepen my walk with my Lord, and to let His love flow
freely through me to all I come in contact with.

"Stuff" is continually diminishing in importance to me, and
I am finding  unbelieveable contentment in abiding in His
presence, and focusing on things that really matter to Him.



I still have so very much to learn about this amazing
God and His plan for my life.  So as I enjoy the fun
and festivities of this 2010 Christmas season,

deep inside

I am feeling a calling...
a compelling....


to be intentional and fill the days of
2011 with thanksgiving, praise, prayer,
and worship to my Lord,
and to walk joyfully, and confidently, by faith
wherever He may lead.  Amen and amen.


Sending love across the miles to you!!!
Know that you are always close in thought
even if I can't get around to visit with you!

Please click on that darling little
picture at the top of my sidebar! 
There is still time to help CLIFF!!




Blessings and Hugs, Becky

  2. Sweet Becky,

    I am sorry I have been a bit absent lately. It has been a trying time with Hazel being so sick and Christmas things to do and planning a trip to Utah next week that I haven't been visiting as much as I usually do. But please know how thrilled I am for you that Sam and her family have returned. This is such wonderful news! Congrats and now you have a beautiful new sibling for Emily coming and you can be right there! Fantastic!

    Have a beautiful Christmas, Becky! I know you will because you are one person I know will be focused on the right things!

    Love you, Bon

    Blessings,
    Christine

  10. Ah, Becky!! How joyful you are...I love it. Our local Christian radio station has been playing Christmas music since Thanksgiving and it has been aMAZing!!! Such beautiful, worshipful songs. Who knew Joy To The World could be so great?!!! Of course, Michael W. Smith is always my favorite!
    Enjoy every minute with your girlies, and I'm hoping the time with them eases missing your parents so much.

  14. Becky,
    I couldn't figure out how to email a response to your comment, so I'll do it here.
    YES. It would be a blast to share decaf...
    There is nothing better than the beach in the fall and winter. I think they are some of the most spectacular months. Enjoy each and every moment...something tells me you will!
