Christmas all Year Long - April

Twelve Months of Christmas 

Twelve months of spreading the light of Jesus' love.

Are you looking for a way to reach out to your neighbors or your community? 
Here is a fun idea! 
Every month I am going to send out a blog post with a new idea for that month.
Families can set their calendars to spread the cheer - all year!

After your year of giving you will be the one blessed.
You will have joy in your heart because it feels good 
to care for others.  

April 
Bake Easter cookies, 
make a simple card that tells about Jesus 
and share it with your neighbor. 

Beloved, let us love one another, 
for love is from God ...
1 John 4:7-8

36


March 4, 2014 
Today we celebrated being married 36 years. 
We had a lovely dinner at the Olive Garden. 


I was 19 years old and Don was an old man of 29. 
It would be fair to say it was a whirlwind courtship.

Our first date was to see the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Music, aliens and Richard Dreyfuss. 



We were married in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. and drove across the country from Florida to Utah for our honeymoon.  


We have had many, many seasons of life. We can look back as well as forward. 



Our hearts full of gratitude, we thank God for having grown us up and carried us and we look forward to many more adventures. 

On our way home from dinner we made an emergency stop 



MMM ... the red beacon of sweet dreams gets me every time.
