I wish that I had as much exciting news as Pam to report but it's been pretty mellow since I have been home. We had a great Thanksgiving with Pam's parents and her three sisters and their families. Our friends who have been watching the kids left for their own celebration so we are just hanging around "the ranch".
I am fighting every temptation in my body to start putting up Christmas lights, which have gone up the day after Thanksgiving ever since I was born. I have promised Justin that we will not start our festivities until Pam and he come home. I did buy new LED Christmas lights to save energy and give the house a new look this year but they will stay in their boxes until all of my kids can help me put them up.
We also did a little shopping today for CDs and cases and labels to make our latest "Believe" Christmas CD. I am a Christmas carol junkie and love to spread Christmas cheer with our favorite music. I scour Itunes and the CD racks to find fresh arrangements and new songs to give to family and friends. We only do it every few years so that there is always enough good material.
It rained cats and dogs the night before Thanksgiving so I don't have to worry about doing any yard work this weekend. Garrett and Morgan and I have just been quietly enjoying each other's company in anticipation of Pam and Justin coming home, hopefully next week!
James 1:27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

A very inspiring video! Please scroll to the bottom of our blog and turn off the music before you push play on the video. This way you will avoid having sound on both features.

I would love to have that list. I have been checking around trying to find some great Christian Christmas music.
So if you don't mind, can you send me a list?
Blessings,
Gail
