2008 Christmas Letter

Merry Christmas and Happy New year to our friends and family. We wish all of you peace, love and harmony in your lives and homes. May you be blessed with good healthy, the things you need, and Heavenly Father's blessings during this holiday season and in 2009. Remember that the reason that we celebrate Christmas is because Heavenly Father loves us and sent his son, Jesus Christ, here to atone for our sins. Jesus showed us by example how to live and how to love our brothers and sisters. If we follow his example and keep Heavenly Father's commandments we can return to him and be together forever.

We have had many blessings this year. Bill had successful eyelid surgery and can see much better now. He also came through pneumonia, a bad back and a very difficult hospital stay for pancreatitis and removal of his gall bladder. Many prayers and blessings brought him through this. We had a wonderful garden and will enjoy its fruits throughout this year. Kaye had her left knee replaced June 30 and Bill was so good to her during her recovery. Our grandson, Adam, survived the hurricane in Houston while he was on his mission. Our granddaughter, Amber, and Matt are getting a divorce. She is teaching and doing better than we all expected. All of our family has had their highs and lows this year. That seems to be the way of the world right now.

We have tried to look at the positive things in our lives and appreciate our blessings. May Heavenly Father watch over all of you and keep you safe, healthy, well and happy.
