Photo Winner- (according to me, taken by me...)

I'd like to think that all 5 are looking up at the STAR at the very top of the Christmas tree.
The star that symbolizes that Christ was born that night so long ago.
He is light and life and He lives.  I love Him, I love Him.

Gratitude...

I have a question for you all.  How does one show/feel gratitude for all the blessings one has?  Do any of you ever feel frustrated because you don't know how to express your thankfulness?  I am not saying I don't have my challenges and worries or that life is perfect.  But, I am a blessed person and even when I am racking my brain to find ways to serve others, ... I don't feel like I am doing enough.  Never enough to satisfy that feeling.  


I have been given so many blessings and I guess this is where I recognize that I have so many that I "cannot contain them all".  I guess I am really wondering... "Does He know how very thankful I am?"  And maybe the real question is, "How do I find out if He approves of my efforts?"


Maybe I need to try harder to figure that out.  And, maybe I have just answered my own question.

Giving it her all on that new scooter

My dear friends from Loma Linda University

Quality time in Southern Utah

Look at the beauty!

The few scary moments on that climb was worth it

Angel's Landing.   I did it, ... I think I may be a tinsy bit afraid of heights

And then the next day I did this.  My first 1/2 marathon!

This word "FINISH" never looked so good
