Happy Birthday to Our Son, Alex & Link for Advent Devotions

Happy Birthday to our Alex who turned 19 today!!! Here he is when he was just a little guy. If you read this later tonight when you get back Alex, we love you so much! I'm so glad you're home from college even if your stuff is already lying all over the house:-)

And here's Alex today with our son John!

It seems like it was just yesterday when I was trimming our tree with our little fellas, and now they are such fine young men! I know I'm their mama and am bit prejudice, but aren't they handsome too? (Okay, I know no one but me says handsome, but I like it!)

For those of you who love reading a scripture a day for our advent devotions, I'm going to give you the link to my advent devotions for the next few days from my archives. I know you know how crazy busy it can get, so right now, this is the best way to get them to you.

I'm giving you the link for nightly devotions for December 14 - 17. Ignore the days of the week in the link, just go by the dates for the devotion (they are the same advent devotions year to year, only change is the day of the week it falls on!)  Click here for all of them.

Please pray for Mary to bring honor to God through her voice! She sings twice this weekend, and once next week for Christmas programs. We are so grateful when people ask her to sing so she can use the gifts God has given her to shine for His glory! I hope I can post some clips for you, but in the meantime, you can be there in spirit! (For those new to the blog, Mary is our youngest child and she was born blind. You can read her story here. If you poke around that link, you can hear Mary sing:-)

Love to you all in this blessed season of our Lord's birth.

Walk by Faith,
