Christmas trees and change

This year Christmas looks a little different for us…


There is now 9 of us for this celebratory season which means doing presents different. This Christmas is also the first Christmas that we have had a 5 year old in 8 years!

First thing that I noticed that was different in our Christmas routine was the Christmas tree. As my dear sister Jelly Beans puts it Mummzy is our very own tree dictator. Our tree was always done to the 'T'!

Now don't get me wrong that does result in a nice tree that is all colour coordinated but it also results in a tree that is covered with breakable ornaments. In past years our Christmas tree has looked orderly and very breakable…

This year our Christmas Tree is covered in plastic and paper ornaments that will not shatter and if they do brake then there will be minimal clean up. Also, the only ‘rule’ for the construction of the tree was that you can’t have two ornaments hanging on the same branch.

 So I guess that not only has the Kids changed but so have we!

 
Thanks and GOD BLESS!!!!

Papa Bear & Pals

 

I apologize for not being all that dedicated to the blog at the moment and going for large spans without posting anything.

 

 

Hopefully over the next couple of weeks we can get all caught up on what is going on at our house.

 So for starters on the catching up...

Papa bear went to New Zealand for Business but has now returned safe and sound.  We all love having Papa Bear back in the house. Getting back into a routine isn’t always easy after having to strike it out alone for a while but I know that none of us would trade him for the world!

Thankfully nobody had to make a trip to the Emergency Room! Unfortunately it was not perfect we still did have a little trouble.

We could never make it without the help of friends; from making dinner for all 8 of us left at home, or boosting the van when it is not working, or being our taxi service when the van still doesn’t work, or coming out of their way to fix the van so that it will work!!!

 We are blessed to know people that care!!! People that help us physically and also those who pray for us! I cannot begin to thank these people for all they have done for us and for all the prayers they have said!

Thank you all and God Bless!!!

TMI Boot Camp!!!!

I was looking at the different promotional material for Teen Missions International (TMI) and I came across this Video of the Lord's Boot Camp. (The video is a bit long, so grab your cup of tea, make yourselves comfortable and enjoy!)

Boot Camp is a 2 week training period at TMI's Base in Merritt Island Florida. They say it is no pamper camp and they are not joking, there is always something to do, something to learn. But at the same time one finds the fun, and learns how to sing in the rain!!!

After Boot Camp the teams that meet there are sent off on their respective missions. Ready to embark on the adventure of a life time, one that will never happen again, in a time that will never again be experienced, and in a place that will never again be the same!

Thanks and GOD Bless!!!

PRAYER!!!!

No, we have not gone back to the hospital! (YAY)

At the church I attend (not where Papa Bear preaches) there is going to be a HUGE youth event this coming weekend (October 24-25).

There are going to be youth from multiple provinces some of whom who have never heard about who Jesus is and others who will be challenged to have a relationship with Jesus for the first time.

This is where the prayer comes in, we need people from all over the world to pray for these youth and the leaders that will be working with them.

Please pray that:

~ The youth will experience who Jesus is

~ The leaders and speakers will know how to answer the youth's questions

~That even after the event the youth will choose to live for Jesus in a tangible way

Please leave in the comments below what country you are from as there will be a large map at the event that shows the youth all the countries that will be praying for them. If you know anyone in another country than your own that can pray for this event please tell us in the comments!

It's our goal to have as many countries as possible praying for these youth!

Let's show these youth that there are brothers and sisters in Christ all over the world that care for and love them!

God Bless,
Jelly Beans
