#401. I made it through watching It's A Wonderful Life last night with the family and it really was a wonderful movie. I could never make it past certain parts in it before. Thank you, Lord, for the healing that you have done that enabled me to get past the parts that troubled me so much before.



#402. That Bob is healthy enough now that he doesn't cough all night. Yay!



#403. We got a LOT of rain (well, we seemed to) and have needed it so much. There is more in the forecast, too.



#404. We have kept a lid on spending this Christmas. It will be challenging for us not to have a ton of packages to open, but it will be a relief not to have bills to pay.



#405. That the kids haven't outwardly fussed about Christmas being so NON-present oriented. Lord, please pour out a special blessing on them so that they sense deep within, the priceless gift of Christ.
