Wishing You All A Special Christmas

Hello Everyone,

It's Christmas eve and we just finished making cookies for Santa and baking Jesus birthday cake for tomorrow's lunch. Haley 8 and Kallie 5 are so excited I don't think they will sleep tonight!

Missing my surgery Fri. because of the blizzard has a great silver lining!! I'm feeling good and enjoyed services today at church and time with the grandkids. Only thing better would be to have our daughter Teresa and her family with us too! Maybe next year.

Surgery is now rescheduled for Dec. 28th at 2:00 p.m. Third time must be a charm! I SURE HOPE SO! We will stay here in Co. until we see Dr. Baker for a follow -up on Jan. 2nd. and then head back to Tx. that day.

Your continued prayers are such a blessing to me and my family! I wish I had better words and ways to thank you for all you have done for us. My heart is over flowing with awe and joy to see your love for us. This has been a year of seeing God's hand on our lives and lots of daily blessings! It has been a long year of pain....yet I never felt alone. I knew there has been a plan for this journey from the start and God would walk with me each step of the way. The support of Lloyd, my family and each of you has been incredible.

We pray Christmas will hold special memories for you and your families this year. For some reading this, I know you are missing loved one for the first time this year. Hold fast to the happy memories. For others perhaps you have family problems. There will not be family dinners. I pray you will find the One who knows your heart and your pain. God wants us all to reach for His hand...he knows our hurts, sorrows, pain and suffering. Reach out to others...and seek to know God and his love!

Need to get to bed....2 little girls will be waking us early! Hug each other for us!!

Merry Christmas......Easter is coming!

Joyfully His,
Donna`
