It is actually up and running now. My link is ready. www://my.tupperware.com/marvillapickens Today is the last day to get in on the $15 join deal. This is joining without the startup kit and gives you the website. I have a team meeting Thursday night if you would like to join me on that I can send you the link. Right now the start up kit itself is $139 and is definitely worth it.

My Christmas is usually quiet but very special. My husband and I love spending the day together watching Christmas movies and munching on our Christmas treats and dinner.

We finally made it to the last day of 2024. I have to say, this is one year that I am so glad to be done with. I am hoping for better days in 2025.

I was out of some medications for the last couple of weeks. Then I saw my primary doctor today and got some refills. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I won't feel as drained.

I have a few hopes for this new year. I will write a little more about that tomorrow. I can't say they are resolutions, but I definitely have set some new goals for myself.

Take UP Your Cross

Blog Prompt: Do you view yourself as worthy of forgiveness or are you unable to push past guilt?

I can push past guilt, but am I ever "worthy" of forgiveness? I can accept the gift of forgiveness even though I am not worthy of it. It's called grace. I think mercy and grace go hand in hand. It's hard to have one without the other.

Prayer prompt: Pray for the strength of Christian families, that they would be the foundation of our society.

Dear God,
Please strengthen Christian families. Help them to be the foundation of our society. Give them the strength to be leaders and to stand up and stand for what they believe in.
In Christ's name,
Amen

Use these words in your entry: Baby New Year, happy, and lost.

Happy Baby New Year! Hope is not lost! (short, sweet, and to the point)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prompt:
What impresses you the most and how about the role that a certain activity (sports, theater books, music, etc.) has had on your life? And can you predict what will impress you in 2025?

This is not something I have given much thought. I won't know what will impress me until it does so. LOL And obviously, even then I may not notice. Hmmm! I think I am most impressed by inspirational stories and the same will continue to impress me in the years to come, at least that is what I am assuming.
