Another blessed Christmas

We arose, dressed, and picked up John, our accompanist, heading for Trail’s End. Many were there and the room was set up as usual. We did something different today. We read from the Luke 2 and then sang Christmas carols written in relation to those scriptures. We sang 16 hymns in lieu of a sermon, and many people commented that they appreciated the experience. None of us had heard many of them during this season. We came home and cooked the smoked turkey we were to take to Winston’s for dinner. It had to cook 1 ½ hours and we started it at 10. Around the time it was done, Bonny called and said the dinner would not begin until 1:30, so we had some time to kill. When we left we went straight to Progreso Lakes where Randy and Tracy live. We had side dishes of mashed potatoes and gravy, fresh green beans, variety fruit salad, and two types of sweet potatoes. We brought one and someone else brought the other. We were surprised that there were two servings. We toured the grounds and watched the boy Mark fide his board behind the jet ski driven by his father, Randy. We came home and just laid around watching TV after taking all the meat off the turkey carcass that we could. We will have some sandwiches and some soup from the broth from the carcass. We had popcorn instead of a meal. We talked with both girls and some of their families, wishing each other Merry Christmas. I also talked with Ray. They will leave Kansas early tomorrow morning and will arrive here around 7 tomorrow night. Glenn called and will try to make a tee time for us Wednesday. A thought about Christmas: it is truly a blessing to know the truth about the coming of God in the flesh to live a perfect life for us and die for us as the perfect sacrifice. I don’t understand why God revealed this to our family, but I thank Him for what He has done. Blessed Christmas to each of you who reads this web blog.
