Precious Friends ~ I am thankful for each one of you.
Your friendship and kindness to our family is such a blessing.
In the last number of months we have felt loved and encouraged.
Thank you all so very much.
This is a wrap-up post for the year.
Yes, for the year! I cannot believe how quickly time passes.
I am taking six weeks of quiet in this space ~ I trust you will understand.

May the Lord bless you with His peace and presence
throughout the Christmas season and in the coming year.
May you know His loving hand upon you leading and guiding in all you do.
May you know Him as your Saviour and follow Him wherever He leads.
May He be your Everything!
Christmas has always been a very special time of year for us.
We have many family traditions tied into this season.
It's not all about the gifts ~ it's about The Gift!
We have sought, over the years, to teach our children
that our Saviour really is the best Gift of all.
with all the wonders revealed about our Saviour in God's Word.
We have always enjoyed going to Burnaby Village Museum
We enjoy decorating our home and making cookies and ornaments.
We eat yummy things and visit by the fire.
Our Christmas Eve celebration always includes a special dinner
made up of appetizers and Devon cream tea.
We eat on that night in the living room and linger around the glowing fireplace.
Christmas Carols are sung while we gather by the tree.
We have so many happy memories of Christmases past.
This photo is one of the last we have together as a family ~
It was taken last Christmas shortly after Austin's pacemaker surgery.
We've included it in our family's Christmas letter this year.
We do plan on returning to all our usual traditions in the future.
This year, however, we are switching things up a bit and
making some changes. It's a year of transition.
A year of firsts. We are making new memories.
Without our precious Austin.
We still plan to celebrate our Saviour's birth.
We plan to gather with family and friends.
We plan to give gifts and send cards.
We are not abandoning tradition altogether, but,
we must have a year of transition.
Everything is still a little too fresh.

Since Austin was taken Home to Heaven, things have not been the same.
Christmas will never be the same. We will never be the same.
As we ease ourselves into life here without our precious son,
As we ease ourselves into life here without our precious son,
we seek to remember that He is with the Lord.
Our Austin is celebrating his first Christmas in Heaven ~
Our Austin is celebrating his first Christmas in Heaven ~
with our Saviour!! What a thought!
He is perfectly content and joyful.
He is praising the Lord constantly in perfect peace.
One day, we will be there too.
It truly is precious to consider these things.

By God's great grace, we will honour the Lord in the days to come.
We will remember Him and praise Him and worship Him.
Because He is worthy. And, He truly is the best Gift of all!
My plan is to be absent from this space for the next six weeks.
Please do not be alarmed at the fact that any comments you
may choose to leave will initially disappear, and then will take time to publish.
(Please do let me know you were here...it's always a blessing to hear from you).
I do not plan to check in at all until the end of December.
This includes publishing comments and visiting with you in your space.
It's just what I must do. Thank you for always extending grace.
Please know that I value your friendship and do
hope to reconnect after this time of internet quietness.
May the Lord bless you as you seek Him. Now and always.
Merry Christmas from our home to yours!
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
