So December was terribly snowy and so far January is melty? Where's the snow? Not that I am complaining, but I wish winter would pick an angle.....is it going to be snowy or not?
We took all the Christmas stuff off our lawn since it's melty and now it's outta season. Also before some loser steals it off our lawn. Some years it has to stay on the house until Spring as it's frozen solid and it's just too dangerous to climb on an icy roof. Oh, we put our sleigh and reindeer on our garage roof so that kids (or adults) don't cut the lights on them like they did one year. This way they don't walk away either. Our friend Fred, said we had one of the prettiest yards in town....that was nice to hear. We try to make it different every year. I love decorating outside!
Oh---you will love this one. Our church called to ask "what our kid's name is? Since no one at the church knows..." Wow! Now that is really sad. Aren't we suppose to be members? Our little Alexander is a blessing to anyone who could possibly know him. He loves to smile, he is always positive and upbeat....why don't you know his name? Sad! Again another reason why going to church is a waste of time. Do they ever know we are there? Do they even care? It's almost easier to stay at home and have church. (shakes head!) "Orgainzed Religion" stinks!
I guess this is a good place to discuss why this blog has the avesselofhonor name. A Vessel of Honor is what John and I try to be. We want to be chosen because we are mold-able (not moldy) and able to do God's work....either in our comfort zone or out of it. It's sad when other people can't even remember your name, but they would say they are our "friends."
Here's a question: If our "friends" don't know our names (or kids' names) what makes them friends instead of strangers?
Have a good one....
