Lent is coming soon. Beginning on February 22 - Ash Wednesday - we will begin our Lenten season. This is the time of year that I get to see the excitement in the eyes of those coming into the Church and I can look back over the past year with thanksgiving for all of our blessings.
Our youngest grandson, although born 4 weeks premature, has grown quickly and will be celebrating his first birthday in February. Happy and healthy and walking already.
Our youngest grandson and his wife are expecting their first child together in August and her first trimester will be ending in February - hopefully we can all breath a bit easier after that.
My husband is doing very well and continues to work part-time with the VCC/COPD Foundation. Our health is improving as we eat better and get more exercise.
We have so much to be thankful for - God has been good to us.
Pray without ceasing this Lenten season and God bless each of you.
