This holiday season ....

has been bountiful in challenges for our family, with a job lay off and three car accidents in two weeks, leaving us with limited funds and transportation.

~ But, most importantly this season has been bountiful in the blessings of our wonderful

children pitching in to help their parents cope.

~ Also, a sweet mother who brings Christmas with her from, of all places, Florida.

~ And friends, who bless us with their prayers, gifts, and presence. ~

~ What shines brightest for us this season are not the problems, but the blessings! ~

~ The bountiful goodness of God's grace, mercy, love, provision, and peace. ~

~ I wish you a Bountiful Holiday Season full to the brim with joy and love! ~
