Its been a beautiful sunny winter day here at the cottage! The sky is blue, blue, blue and the fresh snow from earlier in the week just sparkles.

Kim and Sam join us for supper tonight. The house is clean, I've shopped and have the ingredients all prepared and in the fridge for a new recipe....Lemon Chicken Rice Soup. I'll share it, if its good.

I'm also thanking Him for His presence and His guidance and His strength as we face life's challenges, big and small.
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.~Psalm 46:1
I'm joining
Kim of the Upward Call and others in giving thanks to God each Thursday of this year of 2010. Won't you join us?

Enjoy your evening--great soup, great company!
Wonderful! Friends and soup...one of my favorite combinations...
I was so excited to get a phone call from our young friends from Washington state who are now living in Northbrook, Ill. tonight. Our friend Luke took a youth pastor job with a Presbyterian church there. They are enjoying their new position and church even though they are miles and miles away from their family and friends.
Have a wonderful weekend Dorothy!
What a wonderful evening, Dorothy. Very relaxing and very delicious!
Sam told me on the way home that he LOVED the soup and wants me to get the recipe. : D
Thank you so much for the lovely meal and the warm conversation!
