Be Thou My Vision

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work." 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 Beautiful words..... honor Him delight consolation good hope grace comfort  establish  every word every work  But these words are meaningless without the precious Person behind them, Jesus Christ.

Some of my family were able to go to England for Christmas this year. It was a new experience being there in the winter, because usually we visit in the summer or springtime. We had a good trip there and were able to see some of Mum's childhood school-friends and spend time with our Grandma, cousins, uncle and aunt.          Views from the plane on the 9 hour flight from Houston, TX to Heathrow, England.                              (photo credit for these two pictures: Sarah)      In Grandma's livingroom (all other photos credit: Elizabeth)   How is there green grass in December? I guess because of all the rain. In Oklahoma we had dry,  brown grass. Flowers still blooming in December!  At my Uncle's home in the countryside.
