Travel

In case you were wondering, we are visiting my family over in the Carrabelle, FL area.  It's the first time in years where we have been able to see them at Christmastime.  It has been a most enjoyable and memorable visit.  For the first time in about 20 years, we were able to attend church with my mother in my hometown.  It is also the first visit we've been able to make since Granddaddy passed away 1 1/2 years ago.  In addition, it is the first time in years that our visit didn't entail some type of family medical emergency or crisis.  This visit has been a wonderful time for family to fellowship, worship, and simply enjoy time together. 

I'm thankful this Christmas for the miracles I see God doing in my family.  Long standing prayers for lost family members are being answered.  My Mom actively attends church and ensures my young nieces are there every single Sunday, Wednesday, and are actively involved in children's ministry.  I see God working on my brother and his wife as well as my brother in South Florida.  I am thankful this Christmas for answering prayers over my sister.  I am thankful for my family - though we make look a little nutty to the outside world (me included), this is my family and I'm thankful for them...and truthfully, we aren't any nuttier that anyone else's family.  I love each and every one of them, I'm thankful that Jesus Christ does too. 

I ask prayers for my Dad.  He may have melanoma.  It has gone on untreated and undiagnosed for a while now.  Please pray that he will go to the doctor and that he will be completely healed.  Please pray that he will trust in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.  I am very concerned for his health and his spiritual state right now.

I will post more this week after we arrive home.  Until then, God bless you and your loved ones.  May you have a most blessed Christmas.   

In His Love, Cathy
