...is being the mother of Cana Ruth Cox-Johnson. This year has been a year of growth and change for our socially very shy, quick minded, creative daughter. She has taken three courses a semester at Penn Valley CC and is set on going to law school. She knew more about the presidential candidates than anyone I know personally....and continues to knit, knit, knit, and a special joy, is a tremendous help around the house. In fact, as I write this she is mopping our kitchen floor while I sit in the Cabinet room at the conference center, waiting for the annual cabinet Christmas party to start.
Cana looks a bit like Mary, I think in this picture, though nearly 20 now, she would have been considered an old maid at the time of the birth of Jesus. She is dating a guy she has known for several years, is going out doing other things most weekends and has continued to work for her dad---and now for me (I do pay her by the task). What does this have to do with Advent??? You know, I'm not quite sure...maybe you all could tell me, but I just have had her on my mind today so strongly while we are apart, that I wanted to share.
