And a Happy New Year ...

Josiah's favorite song this holiday season has been "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" - only when we listened closely we realized that he misunderstood the ending and was singing:
"We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new YOU!".
Well, maybe we are all wishing for a new us in 2011. I know I am. Thank the Lord for His Spirit Who gives us all we need for truth and godliness (2 Peter 1:3-4). Now, if we will only believe it and live it. I am speaking to myself here.
We had a good Christmas with family and friends. But always, always there is that longing in our hearts for Mark. He had a pretty rough Christmas in Afghanistan. I think of him every hour of the day and pray for him. I hope all of you who read this will too.







Here are a few Christmas pictures. The first is our annual re-enactment of the Nativity, this year with the cousins. Enjoy.
