Monday afternoon and I am resting in my LazyBoy chair. It is my favorite place to be. I don’t know what I would do without it! Sitting up would definitely not be as comfortable without it!
I am grateful that I was able to again be in worship yesterday, and to join others in going forward for communion. Although I was not able to eat the bread or even sip any of the juice it was wonderful to have Doug place it on my lips as a gentle reminder of God’s grace in my life. Wheelchairs and carpeted-inclined aisle are not always the easiest to negotiate however (at least that is what those that have to push me tell me :-) ).
I always recognize how exhausting trips out like this are as getting into the car after church is over is always difficult. Yesterday was no exception. Even with Doug helping me I almost slid off the seat and onto the pavement. I feel so weak and helpless when this happens. It is humiliating, something I haven’t yet learned to accept or live with.
I’m looking forward to my mother arriving tonight (if the weather allows her to land). She is scheduled to arrive at about 9:00 pm but the weather is looking pretty nasty. She will be here into the New Year.

Dawn, I hope that your mom made it in safely tonight. I am sure you will enjoy your time with her and that she is looking forward to being able to spend the holidays with all of you. You are all in my thought and prayers daily. I love you all. Love, Erika Hall
Dawn, Praying for safe arrival for your mother. Are you all going to be together for Christmas? And tell me more about those three new grandsons....Jen? Julie? Jodi? Which family....from the slide show they all look about the same age.
