Is not "Emmanuel" one of the most comforting names of Christ? The fact that He is with me gets me through many a day! How glorious a reason to rejoice!
Through all the circumstances of life, the mountain-top experiences and the deepest valleys, I have found Jesus Christ to be the same. HE is all I need! As He lives His life IN me to achieve His Will, I am totally amazed that He can work THROUGH me at the same time. I want to be a shining example of His love and grace to others.
The love of my life, Peter, died in May of 2013. I am mother of 3, mom-in-love of 3, grandmother of 10, great grandmother of 2, sister, cousin, aunt, niece, colleague and friend. Did I forget one, lol?? I am blessed beyond expectation. Updated 2020.
What an honor it is to receive awards and tags from fellow bloggers! I'm grateful and thankful for all those who have sent one along my way. But, and you knew there would be a but, didn't you, I have deleted all those I have received and have decided to not participate in any more. I simply feel that it would be another thing with which I need to keep up - and that would be self-inflicted pressure I can't handle. I can't even keep up with writing and posting as much as I would really like. I love READING your blogs and sometimes making a comment, much, much more than I love writing anyhow! Thank you so much for your understanding, support, kindness, and bloggy love I've been shown! God bless! Hugs, Karin

Beautiful Karin...
Beautiful! I love hearing these songs again.
Thank you for a perfect post for First Advent.
Lovely! I think the theme for today is hope. Thank you for this.
Very nice, Karin
this has long been one of my favorite Christmas songs, if not the very favorite!
Hope . . . what a gift! We lit the hope candle on our advent wreath at church today. Celebrating Advent is one of my favorite holiday traditions.

I LOVE this! My favorite song! The longing for the Emmanuel -- I long for Him to come back even now.
Blessings!
