Just wanted to share some family answered prayers -- a Christmas miracle for my brother!

He lost his job July 2010 and has been trying to sell his home while job searching. He lives up north in a small town. He finally has a solid offer. He is taking a loss but did not have to foreclose. He gave it his all and now has answered prayer!

On 2/28 he's moving down here and will split time at my house and my sister's house. He goes on a mission to Mynamar again this Feb-March. When he returns he'll job search here and look for an small condo. We are all rejoicing. The deal is final next Monday as long as the inspections are clear........and they should be exactly perfect! His home is only 2.5 years old.

So he's rising out of the ashes of loss & despair to a new hope. Thank you God!! :smilecc:

I am feeling somewhat better and have made a couple of posts. My Dh and kiddies are still very very sick. I am hoping I am on the mend so I can care for them 100% of the time! :D

Praying for you and your family's continued recovery Noel.
Your Christmas friends wish you the very best.

I love putting puzzles together also. I bought a Charlie Brown puzzle just before Christmas, but haven't started it yet. Maybe I will this Friday.
What a great idea kiwi!

We were at a birthday party tonight and I loved how everyone wrapped their birthday gifts in Christmas wrapping paper.

We were hoping that a woman over 40 with a newborn and a school age child might enjoy staying home. Praying for that Christmas miracle and that I get the job I interviewed for yesterday. I should know by wednesday if I am to go on with the process.

Praying for that christmas miracle !!!!

Had fun playing basketball tonight. I definitely need to play more to rid myself of the Christmas pudge I have accumulated around my midsection.

Well, good for you kiwi! We ALL could use a little workout to reduce our Christmas pudge! Being in bed resting for 10 days means mine needs targeted workouts! :lol:

Merry Friday Christmas!

Hubby has to work tomorrow, so I am thinking of making today a relaxing day and doing my regular friday cleaning tomorrow. I have some jobs to apply for and other "adminstrative" tasks, but then am thinking about a "spa day" with a long soak in the tub and a pedicure in front of a nice Christmas movie. Since Hubby is gone tomorrow, I can play christmas music while doing my cleaning. The weather is really cold today and tomorrow so we might not get to the store until Sunday. Have to see what is leftover from Christma in the freezer! Hope everyone has a great day!
