Approaching the New Year with Some Trepidation

 We had a great Christmas, lots of visiting, holding Grayden and food food food. Tomorrow we start a new year and I can only hope it is an improvement on 2023. However I ha' me doots. But we'll give it a go and there is always hope!


  



This song, written by Dolly Parton, is covered by two young Ukrainians from Odessa, sixteen-year-old Dasha Butenko singing with fifteen-year-old Nazar Baranov playing guitar. The pictures of Ukrainian children and youths are of those who found hope through www.thischildhere.org and Robert Gamble. Dr Gamble went from Pastor of a huge megachurch in Florida to a man dedicated to serving young Ukrainians in need in Odessa. I do not have rights to this song nor permission to post it on Youtube.
