***Past week's pondering***
Hello beautiful sisters. I pray you are all doing well. Jeff was here visiting last week for Thanksgiving, and everyone had a wonderful time. My Dad was so happy and he is just so fond of Jeff. It warms my heart that my soon-to-be husband and my Dad get along so well. We also spent an evening with his mom and brother. We had a lovely Polish dinner (stuffed cabbage, dumplings, cabbage, etc so good!) and a nice time talking about family traditions, music, decorating, and future plans.
Jeff made it back Up North safely, praise God, and will be back in a few weeks for Christmas. I believe we should have our wedding date set before the ball drops on NYE! We've had to put it off for one thing after another - mostly personal and family health/illness/surgical concerns! But, we've realized there will be no end to those, so we are going to move ahead with our plans of a small, family church wedding.

Currently: Still not reading! Stuck in Yada Yada book 3. I have been reading through Advent books, but just piddling, not reading anything from front to back!
Bible: Finished Galations, 1st & 2nd Thessalonians. This week 1st & 2nd Corinthians.
Reading Plans: I would really like to finish Yada Yada book 3 and read at least one Christmas book.

THE SPIRIT OF COUNSEL AND OF MIGHT,
THE SPIRIT OF THE KNOWLEDGE AND FEAR OF THE LORD—
