This is a situation that is close..with many underlying issues and no easy solution but to trust God as the Spirit will move. <br />I cooked for family and everyone contributed as well (both of my boys cook too) the younger made his traditional mashed potatoes and also blackberry pie with a roast. The older with less time on his hands, made yams and a green bean casserole (smile) Gifts- I picked various types of foliage up in the mountains and made wreaths and goodies. The economy is moving from bad to worse and people just have to learn to help one another out. Anyway, I enjoyed your photos and update..wishing you peace in Him (and we know not as the world gives)..my best:)Kilauea Poetryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10565265326716182821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-36235781132476080852010-12-29T02:04:15.644-08:002010-12-29T02:04:15.644-08:00Katy, nice to see you here again :-) I hope you ha...Katy, nice to see you here again :-) I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It is hard to see my mom go into nursing home but after several years of discussions and various things happening we have reached agreement that this is the best solution and she is eagerly awaiting her new adventures there. I thank you so much for your prayers as we surely do need them on a regular basis and I know what a sacrifice of your time that is. May God bless you for it.<br /><br />In terms of the help I give to the widows, it really isn't a lot but I do what I can. I just wish I could do more but am happy to do my part however small. I know it is a blessing to those who do receive it.Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-22598579849488797972010-12-29T01:56:18.840-08:002010-12-29T01:56:18.840-08:00Hey Regina, just in case you pop by here again, I ...Hey Regina, just in case you pop by here again, I see that your comment isn't showing up here in the comments section though I did approve it.

I have been keeping her in prayer. It is bittersweet to see our mothers go into nursing homes, but as my mother is in one, too, I know it is for the best possible care and support. <br /><br />As always, I am overwhelemed by your kind and generous heart as you give so generously of your time and energy to the widows. Their eyes and smiles are bright with happiness.<br /><br />Blessings to you and to those you love.
