Have you gotten used to writing 2011 yet? How long does it take before it sinks in? Don't you just hate it when you write a check and put the wrong year on it :)
Well the holidays are over...it seems to put a hint of melancholy over everything yet at the same time everything seems new with a hint of freshness in the air...like spring is lurking just around the corner. That is a good feeling. It reminds me of my favorite verses in the Bible, Lamentations 3:22-23: "It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness." If it weren't for His mercies, we would be consumed. I am so thankful for a merciful and compassionate God, aren't you? We can rise up every morning knowing that His mercy is new every single day. That is such a blessing to me!
If your hoping to see a bunch of Christmas pictures in this post....well...there not here. sorry. I hope to have some pictures up by early next week at the latest. Since the busy-ness of the holidays, and the endless hours sitting at the sewing machine, I think my brain has went on a vacation and forgot to mention where it went or when it will return. So you will have to bear with me as I try to regroup, recoup, and re-adjust to life in the normal lane.
On top of all the holiday festivities, our little Clara Mae had her 7th birthday! She was so excited to turn 7, ... and I can't believe she is 7. Before Liberty came along a little over a year ago, Clara was our baby. THAT makes me feel my age. I told my husband the other night, having Liberty has made me feel young again...{at least at heart..} And then Clara had her 7th birthday.... which in turn got me to thinking about all the kids moving up in age this year...our oldest will turn 17.....OKAY, enough of that already!
So, now you know a little bit of what has been going on at the Brown house. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas {the 12 days are officially over now} and a Happy New Year. May we all resolve to make 2011 a year to glorify our Lord and King Jesus Christ even more than we did last year!
