Excitement!

It has been so busy and so fun around here.  Our Christmas Open House was so much fun.  It took lots of work to get ready for it but it was worth it.  All the wonderful people that came was such an encouragement.

Then back to work on Monday.  But it was even fun on Monday!  There is a German Tradition that a pickle ornament is hidden on the tree and whoever finds it gets a gift.  Well my daughter-in-law picked me up some pickle ornaments in Fredericksburg.  I hid one on our tree at work.  You should see all the adult men and women looking for that pickle.  It is so much fun.  Some of them are down on the floor looking up into the tree.  Some have found it so I move it to another place.  One of our men is about to go crazy because he can't find it.  One woman finally found it after looking a long time.  Her comment was, "now I can sleep tonight"!

It is good to see adults leaving all cares and worries behind to find of all things a pickle!  We need times like this to refresh.  Laughter is so good.

Sometimes we get bogged down with things of this world.  Remember God and His word for refreshment of a different kind.  Have a great day.
