2013 is nearly gone.  Time to be thankful for all the days that came and went.  We have had a crazy busy year but one I wont forget too quickly.  Many dreams came true (my store), many financial decisions had to be made (moving to Winkler), and that is only 2 of the big ones.  I think I have the best of all the worlds.  I have great kids and a wonderful husband, together with great friends and a church we call home. BUT within this year we have also witnessed , again, all the hurt this world can offer.  Many families broken where heaven has gained.  Reality is...it can happen to anyone.  I often worry about things I shouldn't.  I cannot control it anyways.  Once again my new years resolution will be to look for God in new ways.  Sometimes I get so used to knowing and seeing where He shines, that I  take them for granted.  This Christmas I said 'wouldn't it be great to see what the new year will bring?' and then I thought about that.  I don't think I could handle what I don't know.  I will leave that in the hands of who IS in control.    So I want to wish each one of you a wonderful new year and I am grateful for the relationships I have made with you.  I look forward to seeing the projects we will all create in the coming year!  I really need to take pictures of all the projects people bring in for 'show and tell'.  That would make a fabulous book!  (maybe a project for the store!)  HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!  BLESS AND BE BLESSED (cause it feels good)
