Taking a short break from blogging.

Praying for my family and friends.

God bless you all.

HAPPY NEW YEARS 2010 !



Today we will follow our family southern tradition by eating black-eyed peas, greens and pork. The turnip greens and collards are, of course, green .The color of our paper money, which represents prosperity for the new year.
Pork is symbolic of progress, as the pig is, supposedly, the only animal that eats while it is moving forward.
Black Eyed peas are a symbol of good luck.
This is a long time southern new years day meal.



Glory to God in highest heaven,
Who unto man His Son hath given;
While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth.
~ Martin Luther




I pray you have a blessed, safe New Years Day !
