A GREAT END & A NEW BEGINNING
A Great End to 2008
Not quite 3 months ago Mickey had double bi-pass heart surgery.
The healing process seemed long and was not easy but look at him now!!!
Remember the dead tree in our back yard that needed to be cut down and Mickey couldn't do the job because of the surgery? Then the Lord just laid that tree down for us with a wind burst!! Go here to see and read the post, It All Fell Down. Well, our neighbor friend, Wayne, came down and he and Mickey got it cut into logs. I didn't get any pictures of that :o( Here Mickey is picking up logs, loading them in the wheelbarrow and wheeling them to the wood stack.
A few days later he has pulled out the refrigerator and is blowing out the dust from the coils and motor with his air compressor.
For a man who is use to being busy and doing many projects the hardest part of his recovery was having to "sit and take it easy."
Yes, it's a great end to the year 2008 to see my man up and happy being busy!

Now for another great end & a new beginning.
Meet Deann, a lovely, young, single mother of 3 boys.
We were honored to meet Deann, New Years Eve, when we all went to dinner with our son, Marc.
They are looking forward to the New Year to build on that friendship.
A New Beginning

A beautiful sunset I captured from our back patio a few days ago.
A display of the beauty that life holds for all of us in this New Year - 2009!!!

Wonderful photos and special times for your family. I hope Mickey gets better and stronger each day. And praying for Deann and Marc!
hey there,
Thesaurus Thursday 2009 is up and running, come by and play!!
That is a wonderful, amazing story of God's healing power! Praise His name!
And for Marc to be with such a beautiful young woman - I pray that some wonderful young Christian guy will feel God's call to be a daddy to Kristen's 4 precious girls one of these years!
What a wonderfully blessed year you had when all is said and done! I realized it all wasn't a bed of rosed, but you chose to dwell on the best parts! Loved this post!
I'm so happy to hear Mickey's doing better. What an awesome testimony of God's healing!

Susan,
I only really know you through Blogville, yet I am so happy to see your Mickey out in the yard looking great! The picture of answered prayers and God's plans for Mickey's days.
Blessings to your Marc as he embarks on a new journey!
It did my heart good to see these pictures of Mickey! He reminds me so much of my husband who I hope gets busy like that soon! Tell him Happy New Year and to keep up the good work. Blessings to your household and you enter 2009. I hope his energy continues to increase.
