Advent 2009

A year of change, a year of grace
Another year we ran the race
And now we pause and contemplate
And make a poem so we won't be late

Ed and Jean are still in love and give their thanks to God above
Aaron and family are still close by with children both as sweet as pie
Jason married his sweet Rowan and now lives in far L. A.
So Ed and Jean are empty nesters since both their chicks have flown away.

Jean's mom has gone to be with Jesus, Praise God she's free of earthly pain.
We know that when the trumpet sounds, that we will see her once again.
This fall Ed's folks celebrated 60 years - through thick & thin, thru joy & tears
His mom has moved to Long Term Care, we're grateful that she's safer there.

Our camper was much used this year, from May till late October
We still enjoy the rambling life, even with weather sober
We took the train to Halifax and sure enjoyed the ride
Then VIA decided to go on strike but we took it all in stride

'Cus life, it seldom goes as planned according to our thinking
But God knows all that is in store and watches without blinking
He carried us through this whole year and we are mighty glad
That He is such an awesome God and still our heavenly Dad

We pray that His abiding love you fully will enfold
That you will live a life that's full and have a faith that's bold
We pray this note finds you and yours all well and doing fine.
Our hope is that our paths will cross further down the line.

Stop by and visit, stay awhile, we'd truly like to chat.
It's sad we seldom take the time to do a bit of that.
So Merry Christmas to one and all, God's blessings for 2010
Our hope is that we'll see you soon, God Keep you well till then.
