In Memorial of a Wonderful Woman!
My mother-in-law died last month, and we miss her and already miss her greatly.
She was a wife, a mother, and a grandmother. She was great at touching lives and the lives of all the people she met and encountered.
I met her as a widow who loved her children, and when she started receiving her grandchildren, she extended that love to them.
Her love for Christ and her church was not in doubt. She was not perfect, but she was a godly Christian woman.
She tried to increase her knowledge and understanding of the Bible with the aim of being a better Christian.
She was kind, humble, loving, and loyal. She offered to help others financially or in person when she could.
We had a lot of discussions about topics in the Bible in the past, and we looked for answers in the Bible, reading through the text and using some of the tools the Lord has given His church through other men.
I am so glad I met her and saw her live her life when she was younger and when the effects of age started impacting her about three years ago.
She is being laid to rest today!
“Grandma, Sleep well till we meet again; you know we all love you.
God Bless”
Happy New Year 2024🥂

Welcome to 2024! Last year was one that challenged a lot of us especially economically in light of the inflation and high prices experienced in countries around the world. This change in purchasing power affected all income levels to some extent unfortunately in most cases, those at the low end of that spectrum feel it the most.
There were regional issues especially when remembering the war between Ukraine and Russia and towards the end of the year, the redirected focus on the relationship between the Israeli authority and the Palestinian authority. Those conflicts look like they will continue for most of this year though we continue to pray that they end so that peace can reign in those areas.
So it is a new year, another marker in time to try our hands at the same things in a different way or try the same way at different things, there are 366 days including this one to work towards that.
As we continue our use of technology and balance life with them and other commitments, if you are struggling with getting things together for routine use and occasional retrieval, I can commend two books to read this year, especially before the end of the month, Atomic Habits and The PARA Method. They have some good guides and methods that may help.
Have a wonderful new year ahead!
