We prepare to travel to spend Christmas with family in Iowa. It is a very long drive. We pray for safe roads.
Our daughter was here visiting for the entire month of October with our granddaughter. We sadly miss both of them already. We went to Apple orchards, pumpkin patches, parks and recreation areas around here with them. Her husband didn't came here for his job demanded him back home so he spent a couple of weeks with his parents and left from there.
She wanted to try this floral hair ornament at the store.
The orchard.
We love the orchard...homemade apple dumplings, warm apple cider, and many other yummies.
At a friend's farm.
Pannukakku and homemade bread with pumpkin butter for breakfast.
Had friends for coffee a couple of weeks ago.
Now we prepare for Christmas.
Merry Christmas!!!
Happy Birthday Jesus!!
Matthew 1:18-23 King James Version (KJV)
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Blessings to you and yours this Christmas and always! Safe travels!

Hey!
ReplyDeleteYesterday we read the Christmas gospel here written by Matthew.
I was amazed when I read your text, because it had a very Finnish word "pannukakku" , that's pancake. It was a funny discovery that Finnish word :)
Merry Christmas to you:)

Organic fertilizers are better for the soil than chemical fertilizers. The soil will absorb the organic fertilizer of its essential nutrients and natural substances which will foster growth in plants. satta king

Many people like to hit the diet hard, meaning they are very aggressive with their program. These sudden and major changes in your body can impact hormone production, as well as confusing your system. Avoid diets that suggest major changes to diet and activity immediately, if cellulite is a concern.
