Presents and Prayer

I'm an "it's better to give than to receive" kind of gal. In fact, I spend weeks--sometimes months--preparing special gifts to celebrate Christmas. Tonight I completed about 20 hand-made (not your grade school homemade, but your high-tech-with-a-personal-touch homemade) gifts. It's such a beautiful thing to see the finished result of hours of left & right brain collaboration. Just like a child pines for Santa, I'm looking forward to delivering these presents to my family members. 14 days and counting! Now that this giant project is complete, I can rest easy tonight.

Tomorrow night will be a different story. My dear friend is having brain surgery on Wednesday, and my mind and heart are with her. If you are so inclined, please pray for Kate--for successful surgery, no complications, total healing, and quick recovery. Also, please lift up her husband and three boys, that the Lord will grant them comfort, peace and rest. I know that God is working in their lives through this trial, and I praise Him for the blessings that continue to shine through.

In His service,
Ramona
