AfterChristmas Cleaning

Our Christmas Tree is coming down today, marking the finale of 2014.  And what a year this has been!
  The #1 Highlight was the arrival of Miles Geoffrey.  Such a beautiful baby boy!  And such a miraculous birth story, complete with a life flight to Great Falls.  Even though I know him solely through FaceTime now, I love this little guy so very much.  Seven months has sped by.  Seven months since I've seen my youngest and her precious brood.  And, sadly for me, no end to this separation of time and distance seems to be in sight.  And I'm so grateful that Anna has been so faithful in letting me glimpse her world.
God has filled this time with Himself.  And He has greatly blessed this span with touches of Heaven.  The greatest of these is being able to have Becca, Liz, and Paul in my life.  Kinder, more loving 
children can't be found.  Liz and Paul left Saturday.  Thank you, Lord, that they are but two hours away.  And Becca is right here in Dalton.  What blessings!
I look forward to 2015.  Getting our little home clean and in order seems symbolic of getting my heart and life prepared for meeting this new gift of time.  Who knows....this may be the year of meeting You, face to face!
