Whenever there comes a time of dire cercumstances such as you've experienced with your husbands broken leg isn't it wonderful to be reminded of many friends you have in your community? When people come to help without question or excuse it is truly heart warming and an example of true Christmas spirit and shows us again that God in his wonder is everywhere. May your husband be quickly healed and back on his feet. May God bless you and watch over you now and throughout the New Year! Be blessed!

We live in a good caring community to and in times like these it is a great comfort to know that you can depend on friends and neighbours.<br /><br />We have just managed to get out today (have a foot of snow, as I imagine you do too). My husband is still cursing the luck that means we got rid of our 4x4 pickup just before 3 mean winters in a row . . . <br /><br />I loved that everyone on the sofa photo too - a proper HOME. I hate places where you are frightened to sit down for fear of disturbing the cushions! Needless to say, our house is NOT like that!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.com
