Between Christmas and New Year

We had a good Christmas with our friends and in Church , although it was sadened through a death in our Church family.  To young(59) but God gives the measure of our lives. Today was the funeral service.  A lot of praises and singing of Gods goodness and providing even in this time of grieving and departure of a loved one.also the importance of knowing Gods salvation  and redemption.
We enjoy this day" between". No stress , no rush. time to relax and to "be". On the 31 . Dec. Ursi and family comes to us and then the house is filled with young lives again. An then the new Year is here. We think of a new beginnings, new plans. new hope, new goals. My advise , go with little steps  and enjoy every day as it comes.
May God be with you in your journey in 2011.

Here I try to put in some picture from our Christmas decorations. Soon it is time to put them away for an other year . After this, Snowman's will bring some smile on the faces of guests and my self. So have a great time in "between " to a good start in the New Year.

  Sunshine greetings.  

     Sarah do you see the Schoggi  ?  Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

A59 year old women died yesterday  at heart problems,  the funeral is on Wednesday. What have we to learn???  Love . forgive . say sorry,  I love you , thank you.   and do it now , maybe it will not be a tomorrow.   Love you and pray for you .   Good night.   Muetti  

a few day to chrismas

A long week is gone by. The more quiet time is finally here.  I do the gifts  , thinking more of Christmas and made even a few cookies and have some dough  to make more. So guests can enjoy it with us. As a child  on the 26.december we often visited relatives and there the Cookie collection was so different and I enjoyed most the Nutmacrones with a whole hazel nut on top. This kind has for sure  to be in my backing too.
Markus will be home for Christmas , we celebrate with our friends on 24. and with church on the 25. and at home as a family of three this year.  Out side it is still with, but not more new "stuff". I am glad bc. Walti feels sick ,so it is better he can stay in the warmth then snowplowing.Out of my heart I wish you a merry most blessed Christmas. Enjoy your family, friends and the love of God who cam to us with the singing of the angels. Glory to God in the heavens and Peace on earth. My His peace surround you all the time.

It is such a busy time and I miss the quiet and expectations Time of my childhood.Where have we be going off the road?  I am working on the Christmas letteres and gifts, " Many irons in the fire" ,walti said  to me this morning. This afternoon  I was on the funeral from a women from our church . she lived in a nursing home ,and after many! years, 3 weeks ago ,I toke the time on the way of my shopping tour and went visiting her. She enjoyed it , but mostly she talked Harland's . Many things I know from long ago visits. Most importuned was here  upcoming 100 st  birthday on the 5. Dec.  And she made it!  I came home a little sad. What is life? What is importend? How can I leave a legacy that is worthwile?   At home I did some office work for Waltis counseling session next week and got to the blogs. What a joy to read from all of you my loved ones!Thank you all. It is so uplifting to heare from your lives. You are all the time in my hearts and prayer but not so often am I talking with you. Or take the Time!? Sorry. So much for this time , I really should also work on my many projects. But may be a cup of coffee first gives the right energies. Want to have one too?  would be nice....  Enjoy this time of the year and put in some break times to be still and know that the Lord is our God  coming to us when ever we let Him in. Wish you a lot of Christmas joy.

6. Dezember " Samichlaus" day

Out side it is a  snow day and more snow on the way. !  In the house it smells like Grittibaenze. I can not let it be and bake one  for my neighbours. A tradition started when 14 years ago  I brought  one to Leo Sanders but he was just ready to visit his first granddaughter borne this day .That's why  I remember this day. Years later when I backed ours  I brought a big one as a birthday gift to Alana. Since then we have a kind of a relationship with Grittibaenz.It is nice and I like to keep it going.
  Thank you all for keeping  me going with writing my blog. It is nice to heare from you about my blog and of your lives.  English , Swinglisch , German, HA HA HA how Melanie would say   ..... but from the hearts! LOVE you all.    Muetti
