What joy!!<br /><br />I watched some of the Rose Parade today and when the Salvation Army band marched and played 'Stand up for Jesus', I sat down and cried. So many memories, but also so many joys.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to the pages of our new books... 2014, as we all fill them up a day at a time. It's going to be a good year, and God has so many things ahead.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your words and your heart, you are such a blessing!http://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906989179238604361.post-87276195956727260282013-12-31T18:51:57.522-08:002013-12-31T18:51:57.522-08:00Happy New Year to you Debbie, you had so many, man...Happy New Year to you Debbie, you had so many, many hard challenges in 2013 You did so well though as I watched you from my chair and you shared your heart.

The grands help to add perspective. I love that you sewed...I watched all the Larkrise to Candleford and Downton Abbey episodes I could find. Sewing sometimes winds me up like a bobbin!
