Slowly Im weaning myself off the larger doses of pain medication. Slowly, Im re-entering the land of the lucid. And slwly. oh so slowly, Im typing this with my left hand. I stil have a long road to haul to get anywhere back to normal. This will be brief, but i just coulnt stand to start the new year off without declaring to my little world how Good and Great our Lord is and how He has blessed me above and beyond all I could hope or imagine! eVEN IN TIMES OF TRIAL, PAIN AND UNCERTAINTY he is more than worthy of worship’ more than worthy of my trust, more than worthy of all glory! he is good and even a hurting arm cant stop me from saying so!

so in light of counting all the ways the lord is good — here;s how we celebrated his goodness christmas day:

cooking show barbie, complete with lights cameras and kitchen utensils; for my baby girl who shares my love of the food network. she and rae made homemade mac n cheese tonight with just a liitle help and supervision from me.

it didnt take her long at all to get the hang of unwrapping, and then she wanted to unwrap everything — whether it was her gift or not!

i love that happy-surprised look!

the girls really had fun shopping for other people. they were so excited to give rick and i the gifts they’d given us — matching snowglobe ornaments with our names on them. meme and papaw had taken them shopping at ace hardware!

so more evil can be defeated . . . . .

for a couple of hours this is where they were

while raegan was making this. her snowman named LARRY. (correction from my earlier post. you can see why i might be confused!)

juliet and meme watched on

until finally the ship looked like this! aidan is providing sound effects by the way. (for those of you who arent star wars fans, this is the millenium falcon, han solo’s ship)
