Just another example of Heavenly Father knowing what is ahead, and helping us prepare for it. Think of all the things you didn't have to worry about because you listened!<br />Make sure you are drinking enough water - dehydration often causes headaches. <br />Merry Christmas!Jennifer Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03799640294806980763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-88147906889809959362011-12-23T23:30:14.038-05:002011-12-23T23:30:14.038-05:00I just found out that another family in our ward a...I just found out that another family in our ward also celebrates Hanukkah and I am so excited because I've thought about celebrating it myself for a few years.

I'd say that you don't deserve it with all he wonderful things you've done for the world this year, but that's what life is-opposition and getting through the hard times. <br /><br />My dad always wished he was secretly Jewish. He's from German heritage and was hoping that way on back his ancestors had really said they were not Jewish to protect their lives. He also wished that is that's the case,his Jewish family was some of the ones that excepted the Jesus as the Messiah. Dad has a twin brother and they always called each other "Jew boy" or "Rabbi". It was a funny thing to us, but probably not to Hebrews. In 1997, dad, mom and I went to Jerusalem. It was fabulous and I'd love to go back. Dad even tried to learn Hebrew after the age of 75- TOO Hard he said, but we never had any celebrations at home. Good for you! <br /><br />May you find peace soon!Becky Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733518903943141370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-76224868539561896542011-12-23T00:38:15.597-05:002011-12-23T00:38:15.597-05:00So sorry life is hard.

You know... you have been doing SUCH amazing work for the Lord through your blog and in your personal life. How many Books of Mormon's did you give away in October? And it has been my experience that whenever we are doing what the Lord wants us to and are moving His work forward the adversary doubles, triples and quadruples his efforts on us. I don't know what you have been going through but I sure hope you know that the Lord loves you and that you are doing an incredible work for Him. <br /><br />Hope you and your family have a beautiful Christmas!Heather@Women in the Scriptureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840219710920268885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-86438449687580070942011-12-22T18:02:49.588-05:002011-12-22T18:02:49.588-05:00This is really neat.

It was fun, and I learned a lot about the game and the tradition that I hadn't understood before. It's wonderful to learn about others' faith.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13069120628232736944noreply@blogger.com
