"Are the Good Times Really Over for Good?"

A Savior Born to Us

Then the  angel of the Lord stood before them,
as the glory of the Lord shone around them,
and they were struck with great fear.

But the angel said to them,
"Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you glad tidings

of great joy for all the people;
for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is
 Christ the Lord.

And this will be a sign for you;
you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and
lying in a manger."

“Only You”

Last summer I walked out to the shop to see Dad. 

As it turned out he was listening to his favorite music and 

invited me to dance. It was the sweetest surprise 

and will always be a treasured moment/memory for me, 

dancing with my precious dad to "Only You" while he sang along. 

You never know what blessings our

 loving God has in store for you each and every day.

I love you, Dad <3
