A Sign

I had a ticket for yesterday to go back to the US and spend Christmas with my family.  However, there were 2 problems.  First, I couldn't afford to buy the ticket to come back to Honduras.  Secondly, Jetty has been struggling with asthma and needs nebeulization when she has an attack.

Recently Jetty has been doing well with just pills.  Her asthma seemed better.  I was thinking I could have gone to the states and left her in the neighbor's care.  But during the night a cold front rolled in.  The wind was strong, the temperature dropped, and Jetty started to wheeze.

I am taking this cold front as God's way of letting me know I made the right choice - to stay in Honduras for Christmas.  Jetty needed a nebeulizer treatment this morning.  I am hoping that she won't need more treatments, but I will be here if she does.

Yesterday I started making Christmas cookies.  My touch was a little off.  I undercooked the 7 layer cookies and burned peanut brittle.  Finally I made a portion of lasagna in a bread pan and gave up on the cookies.  Today I am hoping my baking talents will be back.

For the past 24 hours lots of loud fireworks have been going off.  The celebration has begun!

Hope you all are enjoying Christmas Eve!
