Hi all!

Just want to wish everyone a great weekend and remember the reason for the season!

God bless!

 I am going to have a lovely weekend.  First, Saturday morning, my church is having our annual Ladies Christmas Tea.  This is a huge evangelistic event for the ladies.  We invite our friends for tea, cookies and light snacks.  There is special music, and a message focused around the birth of our Lord.  Many woman who no longer attend our church show up and it is like a huge family reunion.  

Then, I got a surprise phone call on Thursday from my son, Chris, in New York.  His wife is the one touring with Les Miserables.  Anyway, I haven't seen her since January, at least in person.  She has been on vacation in New York this week, and they are coming into town Saturday afternoon, so I can show her my new apartment.  Plus, my son last saw my apartment the day I moved in, and it was full of boxes all over the place.  

So, I blitzed the place.  I had been keeping it spotless, until I had my toe surgery.  Then, when I got home from Michigan, I was so weak from my anemia.  Well, I put up my tree last night.  Mopped the kitchen floor too.  Today, I took tons of stuff down to the basement.  Mopped my living room floor.  Then, I cleaned up my kitchen.  Finally, tonight, I organized my bedroom, the storage area for all my Christmas presents, dusted and vacuumed, and took more stuff to the basement.  

Now, I am wiped out.

Please be in prayer for the tea on Saturday.  I invited my sponsor, and she seems open to the Lord.  I have been trying to get her to join me at church since she has sponsored me in AA several years ago.  She helped me unpack my kitchen, the day I moved in, and she was impressed by all the people who came from my church to help me move.  What a testimony to her and my sister.

Hugs,
Trish

Sounds like you have an awesome weekend planned! Enjoy, enjoy!!
