Remnants of the final holiday relish tray re-purposed as a scrumptious dinner! Simply, brilliant!

The blog-o-sphere has been filled these past several weeks with a ‘ka-zillion’ year-end reflections, as well as New Year’s Resolutions.

And I have ‘relished’ reading

(I wish I could have high-lighted them all – but these are just a few…be sure & take the time to click on their links – they’re all well worth the read!)

I am so blessed to follow some WONDERFUL bloggers who have gifted me (and countless others) with wonderful reflections of a year now closed; as well as, great insights on the ways we all should consider improving or enhancing a New Year just beginning! Continue reading “Relish the year!” →

If you were to Google the word “snow” (especially today) you would find our city in the drop down toolbar.

CNN, CBS, NBC, The Weather Channel – they’re all currently here reporting.

The New York Times, Huffington Post, Newsweek and Times are all writing about us.

And the National Guard arrived last night.

Snow in Erie, Pa

Swaddling Clothes

The Bible says

that Mary wrapped

her babe in swaddling clothes –

strips of cloth

wound ’round and ’round

his shoulders to his toes.

This makes me think of Christmas gifts

kids often get from grandmas,

but we don’t call them swaddling clothes

we call ’em flannel pajamas.

Do you have fond memories of the night of Christ’s birth?

hugs n’ blessing to all of you who do & may you sleep tight!

“She brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes…” Luke2:7
