Wow how time flies. It is already the 8th day of December. Thanksgiving came and went. You cook all day to have the meal gone in 30 minutes. Now we move into Christmas. I have been enjoying the Christmas music on the radio since before Thanksgiving. Of course Brittany tells me if I hear one more jingle bells mom! Yeah Yeah Yeah.
I have been slow at Christmas cards this year. Not sure why. I am excited to get them done but can't get them right. I made one tonight as a tester and kind of like it but just not sure yet. Today has been a day... My daughter attends a private christian school where there are 350 kids from pre k to 12th grade. So needless to say we are all pretty close. And with me subbing there I tend to meet mom's in the lower grades as well. Today I had some heart breaking news. one of the 2nd grade little girls lost her father Sunday morning to a massive heart attack. He leaves behind a 2nd grader a 9th grader and a wonderful wife. Of course unexpected. Then later on in the day as I waited for the email on what we were needing to do to help out I received word that one of the 6th grade girls lost her father to cancer Saturday morning. Her birthday was Friday and from what I understand he went home from the hospital to be with her.
I know God has a plan for everyone and we have to praise him even in time of sorrow. I am praying these two families find strength in the Lord during this sorrowful time.

Back to my card.
