Thinking About Presents
Well, the kiddos are out on “Winter Break,” and there are only four days until Christmas. I have finished two pairs of beaded socks for each of my girls, and still haven’t found the one sock that somehow got misplaced. My older daughter also requested LEG WARMERS for Christmas, so I have knitted what appears to be something out of a time machine for her as well.
I have an awesome book for my in-laws. My father-in-law has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s – in addition to the post-polio syndrome. His body has gotten extremely weak in the last five years or so, but of course his mind is still completely sharp. It takes him a LONG time to eat, so my mother-in-law has started reading books out loud after she has finished her meal and is waiting on him. The book I bought for them is called Once an Arafat Man by Tass Saada. The author is the father of our church’s worship pastor, and he came to sign books last Sunday at Grace Church. He gave his testimony several months ago – an amazing story of how he used to be a sniper for Yasser Arafat, and God changed his heart. He’s a Christian now and doing amazing things in Israel. Reminds me of a Saul-turned-Paul story. I’m hoping to read the book before I give it to my in-laws. But if that doesn’t happen, I’ll just have to buy my own copy.

I’m sorry your FIL isn’t well. Hopefully with the research going on they can find a cure for Parkinsons. The book you purchased for him sounds very interesting and inspiring. I love that kind of literature. Happy Holidays
