Our daughter Jane, next door neighbor, took this picture of Anna Ruth and me setting out on our little giving spree here on our street.  Anna Ruth prepared 25 or so baskets with nice seasonal goodies and together we had the joy of presenting them.  We pray that our neighbors will know the joy of Christ among us.  Anna Ruth did that this year instead of preparing the usual Christmas stocking. Last year the stockings went home with the people, each lovingly cross-stitched. Times change, that is just fine.
