How Great Thou Art

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God,

in the mountain of his holiness. Psalm 48:1

Outside my window... Cloudy, might be another storm. Temp in here is 22C, very pleasant.

I am thinking... how good life is.

I am thankful... for all the plans and good things to look forward to over Christmas
In the kitchen... a quick meal of steamed veges for lunch.

I am wearing... old Christmas T-shirt and 3/4 navy pants

I am creating... clean house, Christmas menu etc.LOL, plans for our trip south after Christmas, contacting the people we wish to see and setting up times etc.

I am going... to a country village for a Carols evening tonight.

I am wondering... if any more Christmas cards will turn up from people I haven't sent one to.

I am reading... still reading the Mawson book... not enough time

I am looking forward to... Christmas Day with son and D-I-Law

I am hearing...  actually my ears are ringing a bit today.... no silence!

Around the house... Christmas is coming, I spent two half days cleaning the bistro blinds on the deck, we were ready to give up on them, had tried a few things, and planned to get rid of them and put in another product, but suddenly the cleaning worked.

One of my favorite things... At this time of year...people who let you know what gift they would like.
A few plans for the rest of the week..... we still have another concert tomorrow, a family Christmas party from 5.30 to 8pm.   We need to pull out some more songs to cover that.

Yesterday as we wrapped up our Christmas concert, one of our regulars sidled up and said, you can't go home until you sing "How Great Thou Art".    We usually do that one for them, but I thought with all the Christian content among the Carols, they would be happy without  "How Great Thou Art". 

A few of the residents had to go back to their rooms to prepare for lunch a few minutes before we finished and I gave the first one that went past me a peck on the cheek, then they all stopped for a peck and a pat on the shoulder.  It was so sweet.
