new year's a coming ...


greetings on a crisp, post Christmas day ... it went down to -29C last night, but warmed up to a more comfortable -22C ... though it could go up 10 more degrees and i wouldn't complain ... ha!  i had to put my whole winter garb on for my walk ... 


just getting dressed took me almost 10 minutes ... long johns, ski pants, columbia turtleneck, lace-up boots, hat, mitts ... then to take a picture meant i had to remove my warm mitts ... but it was all fun and manageable ... i counted my many blessings as i walked, ready to greet a new year soon ... 

so for those who may pop by this poor neglected blog, may God find you in 2015 ... and may you grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ ...

JESUS was born in the fullness of time ...


"fullness of time" ... i like that phrase ... to me it says that God has a plan in place ... He has always had things mapped out ... well thought out, well executed ... a plan that took 100's of years to bring to fruition ... He gave us hints through the pages of the old testament ... prophecies ... interspersed by centuries ... then it all fell into place ... no coincidences with God ... 

i am celebrating the birth of my Saviour ... and also looking for the return of Jesus, the One and Only ... searching through the pages of the new testament ... hoping it will happen in my lifetime, but knowing it will happen in God's perfect time ... life is interesting ... the bible makes it more so!

Joyous Christmas greetings ... for unto us is born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour - who is Christ the Lord!

gift of God ...


reminder to self ... if i forget that it's all about Jesus, then i have forgotten the most important part of Christmas ...
