oh JOY, joy, joy threefold

we celebrate this day

as year is growing old

oh joy, JOY, joy threefold

may our own faith be bold

God hears us when we pray

oh joy, joy, JOY threefold

we celebrate this day!

Much to celebrate this season with Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. Our family also celebrates three milestones for our newest granddaughter, Maggie Mae: healthy birth (Nov. 28), successful heart surgery (Dec. 12), and homecoming (Dec. 24)! Thank you for your prayers.

dear little Maggie,

we look forward to meeting you,
our newest granddaughter
in December; counting weeks
but not knowing exactly when.

as you form delicately
in your mother’s womb,
we pray for blood
and bone and soft-
petaled cheeks…

anticipation of cuddles and kisses!

❤ ❤ ❤

Lillian is hosting quadrilles at dVerse today…the word is “petal” 🙂
