Hello all!
It is now almost an hour into 2009. Mum, Dad, Sara and I, stayed up and talked, munched and finished by watching the ball drop. It was a blessedly quiet and calm (for the most part) New Years Eve. We ate a late 'dinner' of philly cheese-steak Gluten Free pizza and salad for those who wanted to be healthy. We had shrimp and cocktail sauce as well and for dessert: root beer floats. Anna sat on the floor tilting her cup and head back to get the last few drops of it. After watching Journey to the Center of the Earth we tucked the littles in and to my personal delight, That's Entertainment II came on TCM. Sara was......less than thrilled but I delightedly kept up a running commentary. All the 'That's Entertainment' documentary films come on TCM on New Years Eve and day. It's always a treat for me.
We had so much fun this past evening and we'll always remember it. At the dinner table, we also reflected on God's goodness in the past year. Ronnie said he was grateful for his 'Blue-Bear' his Leapster, his Darth Vader laptop, and his star-wars-oh, and for God healing him too. (As Mum was quick to remind him.) Anna prayed the sweetest prayer and told the Lord that He was (and I loosely quote): "The best and most perfect God....." She's so sweet. I was grateful for daily, especially lately, being reminded through simple things, of His mercy, grace and love in our lives. I pray that our family may have another year being reminded of the Lord's love, grace and forgiveness. God is so good!
"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die
A time to plant and a time to pluck what is planted
A time to kill and a time to heal
A time to break down and a time to build up
A time to weep and a time to laugh
A time to mourn and a time to dance
A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones
A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing
A time to gain and a time to lose
A time to keep and a time to throw away
A time to tear and a time to sew
A time to keep silence and a time to speak
A time to love and a time to hate
A time of war and a time of peace
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

So glad you had a nice New Year, Meghan!
You make me sort of envious....I would love to have TCM =) I do running commentaries as well, much to my family's chagrin.
I LOVE That's Entertainment!
