Here Comes Christmas & the New Year

Well, what do you know !  It’s been another year !
     Time to celebrate, so give a smile and a cheer !  
Of course, we thank God as our blessings we count.
Such help He has given — every day a great amount. 

It was the Lord’s doing to sell our PV place. 
    With no ads, no For Sale sign, it was amazing.
We hadn’t even put it up for sale — 
It sold so quickly; God’s the one we are praising.
     
We’ve rented a townhouse in Cottonwood that’s nice.  
                 Robert &Lori gave good help and advice.
            Downsizing, rearranging has been a new chore;
            We’re thankful for the Lord’s direction so much more. 

Growing older is something really new — 
     it seems to happen to us !   How about you ?
Write down things you recall from your past;
Save those memories from your brain at last.

Count your blessings, can you still sing that song ?
     Appreciate those good days all year long
Let’s try to keep on keeping in touch,
Don and I care about YOU so much. 

Yes, anticipate challenges you’ll face,
     Call them Opportunities to grow in grace.
We thank God for His love and care;
We ask Him to bless YOU in our daily prayer.  

So enjoy Christmas — and in the Bible you’ll read
     Jesus came to be our Savior, so heed  !
Who knows how much longer we’ll live here,
When Heaven’s our home, goodbye to fear
