Rejoice in the Lord always; and again I say, Rejoice (Phil. 4:4)
Hello friends, I'm back! I took the month of December off. I didn't even pick up a paintbrush until the week of Christmas, when I was asked, on the 22nd, to paint a large painting for a young man that needed a present for his wife. So, I thank those of you that continued to check my blog, looking for updates, but found none.
December was a good month, but it wasn't without it's trials and heartache for friends. I traveled some, being fortunate to visit with old friends in California, and I took a wonderful weekend trip with my husband, who hadn't taken a vacation in 2 yrs! The children were home on break and that's always fun. We celebrated my parent's 60th wedding anniversary. We also had a wonderful Christmas, spending a lot of time at my parent's with my siblings and their families.
There was also heartache. A friend lost her 2 month old son, and another lost his dad. Also, my heart felt very heavy for the Madison families that lost their 3 boys this Fall. What I am thankful for is that all these individuals know the Lord, and though they still may ask "why", they hold tight in their faith and trust the Lord in His wisdom and love. They are true inspirations to those whose lives they touch.
