One never knows what Tender Blessings the Lord has in mind.
This past week we had a "trip North" planned, to see Joanie & Gordie, Sarah and her little kindergarten people, Dave & Niki and Sam & ShaNee.
We enjoyed our wonderful visits so very much. Then Old Man Winter decided the weekend was the opportune time to flex his frosty muscles in snowy show, so we missed our visit with Sam & ShaNee. However Joanie & Gordon made us welcome in their comfy home for another night
.
. Joanie's enthusiastic YES when I called to see if we could stay with them was followed immediately by a call from her:
"Will you sing O Holy Night with me in church tomorrow?" she asked.
"I'll have to sing alto. Is that OK?" I said.
Well, it has been forever since we have sung together, seeing as how Joanie was a little girl when I went away to college.
Singing with Joanie was a sweet blessing, the huge bonus to a wonderful weekend of visiting. The delightful warmth of singing a song with my sister that Mom used to play for us so very long ago was unexpected and still lingers with me today.
What a choice surprise Heavenly Father had for Joanie & I! What a priceless blessing getting to sing with my sister!
What a wonderful Sabbath dividend!

I was hoping for a recent picture of Joanie & I together. Didn't have one, but these are a couple of my favorites, taken in the last year.

I think the picture of Aunt Joanie and Jace is from my birthday, in April, not March. Jace looks too big to be less than two weeks old, especially when he was in the hospital for the majority of that time
It was a wonderful extra blessing that will bless us for a long time. Thank you again for singing with me and being my big sister that *prayed for me*
Yes, you're right Joe. Absolutely. We have had such good times at your home this year. Thanks to you and Jen for your gracious hospitality!!
Love ya, Kiddo!
Glad you enjoyed your visit mommy! You helped me out A LOT! I still have to do that last ornament...that little girl only comes about 1/2 the time! But it was great to have you...and fun to shop!
