Happy Birthday Michael!

My oldest son, Michael, is 26 today. I cannot tell you how quickly the years have flown by - I treasure every precious memory of the joys and sorrows of raising my three sons! The Lord has blessed John and I so much - we have had so many, many wonderful joys as we have participated in their lives and very few times of tragedy. When a trial - illness, injury, accident - has come - God has been right there, seeing us through. It is with grateful hearts that we celebrate Michael's birth today. We are blessed yet again as all three boys are here together with us to enjoy Michael's choice of Southern Chicken Pie for dinner, followed by Mrs. B's wonderful Chocolate Share Cake (known to others as Texas sheet cake or Mississippi Mud Cake) - by whatever name it is a rich fudge cake that my guys love!
I heard today that our new windows will be installed next Wednesday - so I have extra encouragement to take down the Christmas decorations. We plan to do most of it on Saturday - which is Epiphany (or Kings' day). Thankfully we have had very little cold weather yet - so the windows are coming just in time.
One other thing I wanted to mention is one of my New Year's projects - I've gathered together a list of websites that one can use to have their quiet time. The first is a one-year bible site and you can either read the day's portion or choose to listen to it. If you are interested in the group of sites I plan to use each day I am posting the information here:

I hope that having everything opening in tabs and being right at my fingertips will help me with a consistent quiet time.
