We sort of thought that was what they were doing and so weren't too awfully surprised when they returned wed.

I like a fairytale ending. ;) Yes, I won't be sorry to see 2020 end, either. I pray 2021 will be a good year, too, but after this year the bar is sure set low! lol I hope our nation will wake up, but I believe God has removed his favor. The only hope is that we turn back to him as a nation before we end up facing his judgement, which I believe will mean the end of the U.S. as we have known it.

I fear my son is going to become like your oldest daughter. He owns his home so I'll know where he lives, but I can easily imagine him changing his cell number. He already doesn't post on Facebook. Something other than turkey...yes, I think that's in order today.

He had never had children before, and she had 3 daughters, so it was an instant family for my nephew, and he has never been so happy in his life. So it was a great decision...just a surprise to the rest of us! I am happy that 2020 is about to end, but I pray that 2021 will be a good year. With the current state of "affairs" in D.C., there are a lot of questions about that...so we will just keep praying for our nation to wake up and get smart before it is too late to stop the train wreck that is going to happen if they don't. I know we can't change what is done, but we can keep it from getting worse. Praying hard about that. Have a blessed weekend.Pamela M.

Yes, we heard from our older son and younger daughter on Thanksgiving after we texted them. Still nothing from our oldest daughter. I am not even sure how to get in touch with her.
