This past week has been busy...connections with friends before the holidays, supper at Olive Garden, delivering Christmas cards to churches in person (with the postal strike impacting our usual practice of mailing cards and newsletters) and a special turkey dinner and celebration of our church's 60th anniversary. 

Also, some new developments.  Walter is now officially pre-diabetic.  So he picked up some prescriptions and a glucose meter to begin tracking and managing the blood sugar count!  That meant I needed to do some more diabetic-friendly Christmas baking - using keto recipes I have.  The freezer is overflowing with goodies!

Before we knew it, Sunday rolled around again...the 3rd Sunday of Advent.  How nice to attend our own church service for a second Sunday in a row.  A grandmother with her two granddaughters led the Christmas carols this morning.  They didn't seem too nervous although it was their debut as worship singers!  Another mom and her three kids did the Advent scripture reading and lit the candles.  Today was the theme of JOY.  It blesses our hearts to see families and especially young kids getting involved in the happenings of church life and worship activities!

Another new item around our home is a digital picture frame that our family can send pictures to from our phones!  Walter loves gadgets, but this one we can all enjoy!  So this afternoon as we relax at home, pictures from Big River, Gladstone and hopefully Weyburn will come rolling in!  

Have a wonderful day, family and friends!  Be blessed.
