CI Christmas Party and Sunny Days

Monday, December 11

Chilly start but love the sunshine!

School - Day 77

In the morning, I had Autumn and Sierra do a safety course offered by our insurance, State Farm. They watched the videos and answered the questions together. It gives us a discount and do we all need discounts!

Jackson and I try to get some sunshine anytime we have a day like this. It feels so good and just lifts my spirit!

In the evening, we went to a Christmas party for my husband's company.

Fancy parties with people I don't know just aren't my thing.

School - Day 78

Abeka Homeschool is having its 12 days of giveaways. Always fun to enter.

Do you remember when I redid this mulch area? Well, the old sheet idea seemed to be a good one because no weeds have came through! Yes, I just bought some used flat sheets from Goodwill and used those for ground cover under the mulch. Works really well!

This is a small gift I had made for our daughter's boyfriend as a Christmas gift. Simple, inexpensive, and meaningful. It is a photo of when Brad asked Addie to be his girlfriend.

Looking forward to giving it to him!

On Tuesday, I went and got my groceries for the week, and went to the library and Walgreens.

Made white chicken chili and quesadillas for dinner.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
