The amaryllis on the board is now open. The flowers are not as large as the reindeer amaryllis, but they form a cluster of 8 blooms.
The blooms on the reindeer amaryllis are drying up. I have cut off two blooms so far. However, the second stalk is now trying to open up so it won't be long until new blooms appear.
Another Christmas gift that keeps giving delight is the devotional book by Ruth Chou Simons titled The Way of the Wildflower. Each entry is illustrated similar to what appears on the covers. I just finished another devotional book yesterday. I read the introduction to Simons' book this morning. I am looking forward to the 30 meditations.
Another Christmas thing that sticks around is that extra one pound I gained from the cookies and candy. Starting to watch for ways to cut down calories to get back to "normal". It all tasted so good; fortunately, most of the sweets have been eaten and are not around to tempt me anymore.
Hope you are enjoying your Christmas gifts even into this new year.





I served at ladies' get together at BGEA where she spoke. Interesting person. Her talk was mostly about her and her family, not much Bible except for a verse here and there. She does seem to be gifted in drawing and painting. Book was part of the ticket package
