Oilers baby

This weekend we held a baby girl who had an Oilers soother. Do you think Kaleb will be upset???

Parents are Collin and Terri-lyn.

Where are the birds?

Mal got me a beautiful cedar bird feeder for Christmas. We set it up promptly, but I haven't seen any birds use it. Before Christmas I set out a small coffee can with bird seed in it and they used that. As you can see, they would climb inside to get to the seed. So why won't they use my new feeder? Maybe a big snowfall will help. I've learned you have to wait patiently!

Take-off!

Family Christmas

It was special to all be together this Christmas.

The guys

The girls

Having grandchildren adds a new dimension to our christmas celebration. The babies were great and the cameras were flashing constantly. We thank the Lord for our children and granchildren and the joy they bring into our lives.

Gifts

Mal made bird feeders for Jess and Juanita.

And a cd stand for Magan.

Merry Christmas!

Jesus is the Gift!

The land of the tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali was once disgraced, but the future will bring honor to this region. The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. They lived in a land of shadows but now the light is shining on them.

Isaiah 9:1,2

The Lord says, " The time is coming when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel...I will put my law within them and write it on their hearts. I will be their God and they will be my people. None of them will have to teach his fellow countryman to know the Lord, because all will know me, from the least to the greatest.

Jeremiah 31:31, 33, 34

The Suffering Messiah

We despised him and rejected him; he endured suffering and pain. But he endured the suffering that should have been ours, the pain that we should have borne. All the while we thought that his suffering was punishment sent by God.

But because of our sins he was wounded, beaten because of the evil we did. We are healed by the punishment he suffered, made whole by the blows he received.

Isaiah 53:4,5

All of us were like sheep that were lost, each of us going his own way. But the Lord made the punishment fall on him, the punishment all of us deserved.

He was treated harshly, but endured it humbly; he never said a word. Like a lamb about to be slaughtered, like a sheep about to be sheared, he never said a word.

Isaiah 53:6,7

The Lord says, "It was my will that he should suffer; his death was a sacrifice to bring forgiveness. Isaiah 53:10

After a life of suffering, he will again have joy; he will know that he did not suffer in vain. My devoted servant, with whom I am pleased, will bear the punishment of many and for his sake I will forgive them.

And so I will give him a place of honor, a place among great and powerful men.

Isaih 53:11, 12
