I have always told myself that no matter what happens to me in my life ....no matter how horrible and difficult life may get....that the sun will rise in the morning...even if its hiding behind a cloud
We all know that the reason for the season is Jesus......but I heard a sermon this morning that confirmed that we need to not just celebrate Jesus's B'day and the Baby Jesus but Jesus's life....when we celebrate our Birthday we do not put a baby picture up or all around our B'day cake....let us not forget that it is His Life and Teachings that we are celebrating....
There are young men and women out there in our Country studying and fighting for our peace and Freedom.....I just got off the phone w/my oldest son who is at the Navel Linguisticts Academy in Monteray, CA....he was recently at the Dr. for stress in relation to his studies at the Academy....I told him to get in touch w/nature before an exam and pray....a mothers prayers are always w/their children....I send out a prayer not only for my son but all those who have children involved in keeping world peace and trying their best to protect our Freedom as best as we know how.....God Bless all of you this Christmas and your families....
Little Tommy and Sara were asked by the Church and their parents to sing Silent Night in Front of the Church on Sunday....they stood up in front of everyone, held hands and belted out the song. At the end Tommy sang "Sleep in heavenly beans." Sara pulled her hand away. "Tommy!!! Tou know its not heavenly beans!!!" "It's sleep in heavenly peas!!!"
Never received a worst gift.....always the option to exchange or trade or sell it to someone who liked it..........the worst gift is to not get one at all.....
That is soooooo cute..........I asked my daughter in a Christmas card, "When are you coming home for Christmas....better not wait until I'm in long-term care or I'll throw my pudding at you!!!
I have wasted my whole life so far trying to figure out why someone else has said or done something.....2007....I will no longer waste my precious energy doing that....and this is going to be hard
Like I was saying the other day on here....this is my fiftenth Christmas w/out a significant other....I wouldn't wish my track record on anyone....but I am bless w/two great big teenage sons!!!!
before the mop enters would you like the handle w/slivers....soaked in preparation H....oh yeah....you never have to worry about those cause you are being the perfect _ _ _ hole .......joy to the world!!!
Paws, I really do wish for you a small little piece of peace in something....perhaps a childs smile....a Christmas flower....a candle glowing....a song.....a prayer....knowing you have people who care about you.....maybe even a dove.....keep your eyes open .....and your heart or you just may miss it.....lots of hugs, Janet
Same goes for you men and those gosh aweful stinky socks!!! You know the ones that the cat runs from when you remove them and they stand on their own as tall as your boots......send culture shock all the way down to the neighbors dog house and he even starts cowering.....now the gals arsenal consists of ear plugs for your snoring.....AND clothspins for the nose!!!! Gosh noooooo....don't mess w/my bubble wrap........lol......
I always try to comfort my ownself....and say well you have a dysfuntional extended family.....you already know that.....it just seems to announce it more on Christmas....I know that I love Church the most about Christmas....and my own children....but it would have been nice to have been born into an extended family that you were loved and accepted in and around on Christmas Day......someday I will be in the position to make others have a Merry Christmas and comfort them.....
To be quit honest w/you the Ex. of four years did the tree....the angel was to show him....I am moving on.....forward....not ever back to him and the stress and problems he caused of which I was a fool to put up with.....because I told him the story you told and I really wanted to hang him there...
No...I did live twenty-four years of my adult life in Alabama....all my children were born there.....right now we have no snow....but I fear Denver is sending it our direction.....
I have been too busy w/sick family this year.....but dream of giving one year overseas somewhere as a missionary when my seventeen and nineteen year old sons move away.....my oldest son went and built orphanages in Guatemala....he said he will go again somewhere.....my dream here at home is to work a holiday in a soup kitchen...but we do not have one here...I may have to travel to do that one.....so the most I can do is sing Christmas carols at the long term center....
