of His blessing.
When I saw this picture for the first time, it brought tears. Not because it is a sad picture, but because it represents all the things I mentioned above.
God has promised us good things and this picture shows me……………….. I am surrounded.
Thank you Lord, and thank you Jake for taking this amazing photo of Tom and your son.
Thanks for reading : )
The first new thing I want to tell you about is my laptop. I’m typing away on it right now 
Pinterest. Heard of it? It is very cool. It’s like having everything listed on your “favorites” on your tool bar, pinned to a bulletin board. You can see stuff your friends like and they can see what you like. Click on the pics and it takes you to the website that gives you the DIY instructions, recipe, or where to buy stuff. There are other things too, but this is how I use it for now. I’m still fairly new to it.
Crafting – OMGoodness, I do not consider myself to be crafty/creative. I can make something look decent, but I’m not one of those talented people that sees something and thinks “oh, I could make so and so out of that”. But, I have gotten my craft on here lately. I can’t show you what I’ve been up to, because some of them are Christmas presents. However, I can show these. They are my favorite little guys’ handprints on Christmas ornaments. Would make great gifts for kids to make at school/church for their parents.
My favorite creative medium is food and I am focusing a lot on that this Christmas season. I’m giving a couple of homemade food items this year. The holiday season at the Jackson house will be Merry & Bright. Yes, we miss our boy so much and there will be tears. But we know that Peyton is with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords…………..can’t wait for our reunion.
I haven’t written much about keeping focused lately. The battle isn’t as hard. We’ve been trained and we are strong. If we don’t quit………….we WIN!!!!!!
Be Thankful and enjoy your families, and thanks for reading
