It seems from the time we turn our new calendars to January, in our heads we are marching day by day, week by week, to the grand finale, Christmas! You may be celebrating Hanukkah. It could be the same for your family.

TIME OUT WITH LOIS: We’ve all been ‘one of them’ at some time

Published on Fri, 12/08/2017 - 3:30pm

“There was no room in the inn.” 

We hear that phrase over and over in songs and Christmas programs. We can even see the scene in our minds. A narrow street, bits of light from the flames of torches. A docile donkey, perhaps with a blanket spread on his back for the comfort of the pregnant mother he has carried. We see the stable and the animals. A donkey, a cow and some sheep.

TIME OUT WITH LOIS: Remembering thank-you moments

Published on Fri, 12/01/2017 - 5:10pm

I went out to Livingston HealthCare for lunch with our son Kevin, who works there. All of us in this area are so thankful for our beautiful new hospital. I can add it as my Thankful #29 for November 2017. It has been good making this list, really putting some thought into each one. There is a book, “One Thousand Gifts” (a gift idea for you) by Ann Voskamp on how being thankful brings a life of joy. 

TIME OUT WITH LOIS: Turkey story prompts the giving of thanks

Published on Fri, 11/24/2017 - 4:19pm

Holidays with cooking involved scare me to death. He-Who-Took-Long-Steps brought a sign home from a church missions dinner. It is framed and hangs in our kitchen. It says, “Welcome to the Promised Land.” He brought it home right after a turkey episode that happened while we lived in Colstrip.
