2015 Christmas Letter

To those whom I love,                                        Christmas 2015

I decided to show you my year in pictures. Other people had to build my garden for me, because I broke my left arm near the shoulder. It couldn’t even be casted since the break was high on the bone. I did manage to plant everything with only one hand.

Angels built my garden. This was a week after I broke my arm. It was an great gift.

The Lord has been good to us in 2015. The year has been interesting in a few large ways and many small ones. I’ve enjoyed them all as they happened and recorded as many as possible with my camera, It’s hard to believe that I will qualify for Medicare in a few months. I’m learning that I can still do almost everything I’ve ever been able to do – it just costs me more than it used to.

This year I lost my uncle Paul and attended a few funerals for friends. I’ve experimented with photography, writing, and gardening. Some experiments succeeded better than others, but I’ve learned quite a lot from all of it. I eagerly await the new year and what all I will learn in the future.

I pray God’s best blessings for you in the coming holiday season and the coming year.
