WELCOME BACK
to our
GOOD MORNING MONDAYS LINK UP
Welcome back to the last Good Morning Mondays Link Up for 2017, next time we get together the New Year will be passed and the year begun.
I have decided to take a break until Monday 29th January 2018 and then our weekly link up will return, and I’ll be looking forward to catching up with you all again.
We’ve had a busy week and even our no 2 daughter has stated how quick it has gone. Even with our usual bible study and school finished there was heaps to do.
I met with my friend on Wednesday for our Bible Study and as usual we enjoyed our time together. We are taking a break between Christmas and New Year to spend time with family and she’ll be away as well for a couple of days.
On Thursday evening our no 2 daughter and myself went in to help friends deal with some ducks for Christmas dinner. I actually went to socialise but our daughter went to gut. They did six in all and I spent some time plucking black feathers out with tweezers (whilst I socialised). I’ve decided that if we ever have ducks we will definitely have white feathered ones.Our new hens are over a month old now and they are going really well. They enjoy being on the lawn but it won’t be long before we need to move them to a bigger pen, they are growing so quickly.
I made up a couple more home made pots with succulents for friends, the little white one has already been gifted and the other one will go on Christmas Day.
Our wonderful no 1 son bought me this lovely outdoor setting for Christmas. I have been wanting a nice table and chairs for our front veranda and we finally found one that wasn’t too expensive. I’ve even got a nice pot of succulents on top and I’m looking forward to many cuppas and chats out there.
It’s set up to look over our front yard to the highway and it’s a pleasant, restful view.
It’s been a busy weekend, finishing and wrapping presents and cleaning up outside so that we can eat out there. Christmas Day is meant to be quite cool but we’ll be sheltered out the back. We are having friends over for Christmas dinner and there will be eleven of us. We are really looking forward to it and the children are keen to have their friends here to play.
Boxing Day we will have our family here, and we will enjoy another dinner together. What with family and friends there will be plenty of fellowship over the days coming up, and for us that’s what it’s all about – giving, caring and sharing of all that God has blessed us with.
Due to our dodgy internet I can’t do a top three, we are working on fixing the problem but just haven’t gotten there yet.
Thank you for sharing your posts on our link up and may you be blessed each time you visit.
After Christmas we will be just chilling out before the New Year and tidying up. We don’t have anything really planned and I’m looking forward to doing some knitting and crocheting and catching up on some Bible Study.
Well my friends, I hope and pray that you will all have a blessed Christmas and that God will impact your lives as you come into 2018. May we all endeavour to live for Him every single moment and day of our lives.
Have a great Christmas, New Year and January until we meet up again.
Numbers 6:24-26 “The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”
Blessings my friends xxxx

Busy and blessed! That’s how I describe this holiday, and I’m so glad to know that you’ll be spending time with family, too. The new deck furniture is lovely. What a thoughtful gift!
Merry Christmas and thanks for all you do!
