AHG Christmas Sock Exchange and Christmas Caroling

Thursday, December 19

I'm a little obsessed with how our new Litter Robot works! I love the corresponding app that alerts me.

We also have a camera at the Litter Robot so I can see when the cats are checking it out and who is using it, etc.

Jackson learned how to use it first. :)

Beautiful sunrise.

Nuggie tried to use it but didn't go all the way in. She is still learning. :)

Beautiful day with the window open!

Autumn was catching some rays while we had it.

Jackson is so cute when he sleeps.

We worked on more final exams and assignments.

I made lasagna for dinner.

Then we went to American Heritage Girls for the BBB and Christmas sock exchange.

The Litter Robot lets you know when it runs its cleaning cycle and when it is complete. It was can tell you which cat was in the robot by measuring its weight.

It tells you the level of the litter and the level of waste.

AND, it has a night light! I mean, this is super fancy!

And miracles of miracles, I completed Sierra's grades for the nine weeks and got all the DVD's sent as well!

I went to the chiropractor, CVS and Wal-Mart.

I made Joanna's sausage and kale soup for dinner.

At 5pm, we went Christmas caroling at a nursing home that is walking distance from our house with the AHG troop.

Summer playing Silver Bells for the home.

Our group caroling.

It was such a blessing to visit the home and talk to the folks there. Brought back memories of going to the nursing home as kids and teens with our family. I enjoyed it very much!

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."...
