I am grateful for the love that Sadie brings to our home. She is a wonderful friend. I am also grateful for Alan, who has taken Sadie under his wing. He takes good care of his canine buddy- frequent baths, car rides, walks, chases aroung the house, special treats, and a cozy spot on the bed at night. 

Jesse has a bright spirit. Despite his physical limitations, he keeps a good sense of humor. I am grateful for people that can look past their own troubles and enrich the lives of others. Today Jesse said, “I’m a spring chicken, but my spring has worn out.”

Last night we spent time in the creche display after the live nativity show at Opportunity Village. I enjoyed seeing depictions of the nativity scene from all over the world. The great variety is amazing. Many of the displays have a distinct “flavor” that corresponds to the country of origin. Where is this one from?

I attended the live nativity in Las Vegas last night, the first showing for 2012. Just as I mentioned in my last post, it was a wonderful event. My spirit was renewed again with confidence of the reality of the birth of the Savior. It brightened my heart. I am grateful God allows us to feel of the reality of His son’s life and mission.
