December 26, 2018 Wednesday#Can't wrap Love#Tomorrow#Day after#Zoo and gardens!

Get Faith
Psalm 103:17  But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who fear Him, and His righteousness with their children's children."  This is my favorite psalm - it speaks to me and this verse more as I get older.  I am blessed to have a daughter and soon a daughter in law working for the Lord.  They left today to serve Him by bringing teenagers to the love of Christ.  As they left I prayed that their 4 day event would bring all of the teens to Christ and that they would stay in the house of God forever.  It is a blessing to me at Christmas that goes beyond wrapping. 

Get Fit
You want to know what I got for Christmas?  Fat, I got fat.  So, now - well not today, I'm too tired but maybe tomorrow I will get back on the treadmill to better health.  Happy Holidays!

On this day
1987  The day after Christmas is coming back to normal for most of us.  I was not working in 87 so it was nice to just let Nicole, who was two, play with her new toys.  I noted that we both took a long lap in the afternoon.  Huh!, I'm doing the same thing today!  Hope you had a wonderful holiday and that you are enjoying the afterglow.

1776 - The British suffered a major defeat in the Battle of Trenton during the American Revolutionary War.  The day after Christmas and still at war in a fight for our freedom.
