It's a win-win. Your daughter gets a cookbook out of the deal and your hubby does too! I mailed my son's Christmas package out to Colorado on Dec. 1, thinking that was plenty of time for it to get out there. It was supposed to be delivered Dec. 8. It actually arrived Dec. 24.

Not many gifts could be just as appropriate for a daughter as a husband, but that cookbook will work perfectly. Hallelujah!

We have stopped watching Fox News, as since being taken over by the liberal Disney they have become very anti-conservative, except for a few shows. But, we absolutely like Pete and Rush Limbaugh will always be one of our favorites. SO sad to know he is so sick. He will be so sorely missed. Glad all your orders have finally arrived and trust you and Danny will be richly blessed in this new year. I found it interesting that Danny's birthday is the 19th. My brother-in-law, Danny's birthday was also 12/19, and for many years, we would always celebrate his birthday when we would all get together for Christmas.

Oftentimes, we THINK we know what we want, and we do everything in our own power to make it happen, only to discover that wasn't what God had in mind for us after all...and He always knows best! I have learned the hard way through the years to wait on God for those "things" I thought I just had to have or do. When God says "No", it's always for a good reason!! And like the title of my blog, when God closes a door, He always opens a window that is even better than anything I ever hoped for!!Pamela M.

This is a truth I have "known" all my life but this past year it was a fresh lesson from the Lord and now I can truly say I KNOW God's timing is always best. What a peace I have found in the waiting in difficult circumstances that God will take care of it all exactly when he needs to in the perfect way he sees fit. <br /><br />"It is never advisable to act precipitously because something we've hoped for hasn't yet arrived, but to simply wait with patience and trust."

I have been held captive in God’s waiting room for a few weeks now. Every time I begin to think of solving things on my own, I try to remember to pray first. So far so good.
