We opened the things that the

kids sent us, and Becky gave us.

We had some munchies before she left as well.

It was a good morning

Thank You Jesus for the beautiful morning!

Jim received a sports book of course,

and I get some sugar free candies, my family

keeps a close eye on me.

I thank the Lord for that!

What is Joy?

What is Joy?

The Dictionary says, it is gladness, and pleasure.

But to me Joy is when I look upon these little faces. That is my real joy. I truly am blessed with three little grandsons. They have been through a lot in their little lives already and to have those smiles, is God given and I truly thank the Lord for their smiles, their look of Joy.

Yesterday, I experienced some joy. We had sent a couple of boxes to the children for Christmas. We were getting a little anxious because they didn't get there when they were suppose too. So yesterday afternoon, our son-in-law called to say that they got the box, the that we had insured. Shortly after he called, our daughter Ruth, had called us back, in the box was a small box that said not to open until she was told she could open it. We asked her if there was a little stocking there? She said yes. So we told her to open it, in the mean time we had our phone on speaker, all of a sudden we heard screaming and such. She was home on her lunch break, knowing that the boys weren't there. Come to find out it was Ruth all excited about getting her own phone. With all she has been through these last couple of years, it did me good to hear her get all excited.

But you know there is more of a Joy that took place, that First Christmas, a baby boy was born. It was Jesus, Mary and Joseph, were Joyful, for their first born. As we were with our first born. There are so many ways of being joyful, seeing my Mother and Father give their hearts to the Lord was a most joyful event to me. I so many times Praise God for His joy that he gives. He gives me Joy right now because Christmas is a Joyful time and its His Birthday that we Celebrate. The Reason for the Season.

More Snow???

Here is another picture from a couple weeks ago. If you click on the picture it will enlarge. I think it is beautiful.

White Chistmas????

My Honey shoveling a couple weeks ago. All of that snow is now gone.

I would love some snow so we could have a White Christmas!

Hello

Hello, My name is Eileen, I am here in the beautiful 4 season state of Michigan. I love the four seasons. Though right now I would love to be in Florida with my grandsons. Ethan the oldest one who is now 5, one day he was having fun with me and called me gramgram. He would call me that on occassion before they moved away. I do miss them a lot. I know we do have things come in our pathways we don't understand.

But there is one thing I do Understand. Jesus, The Reason for the Season, He was born as a baby boy and then grew up and became a man. He then died on a cross for our sins, my sins. And then he arose, cleasing my heart that I give Him, much Praise is do Him!

For I am the Lamb, that the Shepherd, Jesus, left the flock for. I was out in the cold all alone until He found me. Now I sing a New Song!

The other two boys, Evan he is 4, and Easton now1 1/2. Soon to be 2.

I have three beautiful daughters that God has given us, Sarah, Ruth(Mommy to the grandsons), and then Rebecca (Becky to most). The Father to my girls, the gorgeous James (Jim, to most or father and grandpa too).

We are entering that beautiful season of Chrismas and I can't think of anything more, then knowing Jesus. To Celebrate His Birthday!

So at this time I pray all will remember the real Real for the Season.
