Over a year ago I started a thread called Please Pray For My Sister Linda....
Last night she called me because she had gotten the Christmas card I sent her and this is what I posted over in that thread but thought I would share it here too because it is a Praise Report too.
~Just got off of the phone after about an hour and a half call with Linda who made the call to me!!! Christmas has come early for me and Praise God He hears and answers prayers.
I picked up the phone and she said is this Darlene and I said yes. Well this is Linda and what I have to say is hard for me to say and so I just listened and let her talk.
She said she had anger for my mother because she made her feel like she didn't want her to see our father when she came to visit dad.... She said I realized that I was holding on to that anger and transferring it to you. She said when I called last year that she had hung up on me because it brought back all the anger she had held for my mother and she realized that she had taken it out on me.
She apologized for hanging up on me and said it wasn't right and I accepted her apology and we proceeded to talk and work some things out. She called me today because she got the Christmas card that I sent to her today and thought about how it was wrong of her to have hung up on me like that.
At the end of the call I told her I had to give credit where credit was due that I had prayed for her a lot and that God was the one at work. She said she was here if I needed her and I had written that in the card and given her my phone number.
Isn't God good? I don't know where this will lead, but at least I know that if I give her a call she will answer the phone and talk and maybe we will be able to build a relationship we have never had a chance to have before. So I ask that you please continue to pray for her and me that God will make something good out of the bitterness she has harbored over all these years and we can get to know each other.
Thanks Dad for the connection....Amen

I've always been one to be excited about Christmas... Always been joyful and happy.. And feeling like I'm on cloud 9... This year however.... Different story.. 
I just can't get into it this year... I'm just so sad.. And down and not my cheerful self. I kept telling myself it's hormones.. All last week... And it's not getting any better. Sigh.... I'm just gonna pray that God Blesses me with the spirit of joy this season.. And being back to my normal cheerful self. :-/

In my lifetime I have had several holidays that were less than joyous, but many that were.....Enjoy your new house and remember you have time to get things the way you want them...you just moved in after all....enjoy the process and time it takes to fill you home......
