BeClaus

You have heard of Santa and Fred Claus? Well this is Okra Claus. He is a painted bit of okra who resembles Santa and his brother Fred (from the movie). He hangs out every year on our tree. But why okra, you ask? Because. (Don't forget, we're originally from Louisiana where okra is a staple of the Cajun/Creole diet).

And this makes #3 in my random "Treasures on Our Tree" series.

Happy Christmas, y'all!

Please pray for Bella.

Bella Update: 07/26/08. Saturday. Bella's good this morning; walk was fun/no squirrels, but we did a different block than usual. She likes variety. Breakfast -- meds soon, the post-walk routine. She slept better last night than the one before. Panting still, but it's hot. So, thank you God for another morning blessing today.

Bella and I are grateful for each of you, for caring and singing (love is all around...), and especially for praying. Please understand this miracle being prayed for, because although it is day by day, it also may take a bit of time for completion: Bella's battle for life, wellness, and a healed heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run.

What we have right now are day by day blessings: I am prayerfully thankful that her good days may be God's bit by bit miracle, slowly unfolding.
