Middle of November
As I get older, the time seems to get away from me. Already it's the middle of the month and it seemed like the first of November began. I know that I must pre-plan for Thanksgiving and Christmas.....as they will be here in a blink of an eye.
Today, I wrote out my plans for Thanksgiving Menu, Dishes and Desserts then gave some more thought to Christmas Decorating, gifts and Christmas Cards.
The week-end following Thanksgiving will be when we switch out the Door Wreaths, decorate the porch and set up the main tree. The Harvest and Thanksgiving decorations will be put away and out will come Christmas and Winter things.
I would like to get this done early so I can focus on things from above. Celebration of CHRIST coming into this world as a babe born in a manger.
If you've ever had thoughts of inferiority as a person before and felt less than important like I have....it is comforting to me to know that Jesus, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings was born in a lowly manger. The GOD of the Universe that created EVERYTHING came into this 'ole world as a baby that was born in a lowly, smelly manger. He could have been born in a gorgeous and magnificent mansion into a very high ranked and visible Family, but HE wasn't. HE could have been first dressed in high dollar clothing, but HE wasn't. No Baby Gap for the KING. He was wrapped in swaddling clothing and I give THANKS that HE is who HE is. Prince of Peace, Counselor, Holy One, THE MESSIAH, S A V I O R of the World.
The ONE that has the ability to change your stony heart, give you rest and LIFE EVERLASTING.
I give you praise, LORD.
I THANK YOU for being the MIGHTY ONE.
You are GOD...not I. YOU.
You GOD are what is good and worthy to be PRAISED.
Amen and amen.
May I live life the way you GOD desire.
Thinking of you,

DECORATING
I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."
John 3:7
“Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.”
King James Version (KJV)
PSALM 118:17
I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.
By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding
it is established;
through
knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare
and beautiful treasures.
SALVATION
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
"HOME is a wonderful place to LIVE. No matter the size of the rooms, ones HOME is a place to call ones own. I so LOVE my HOME." ~Deanna~
PSALM 90:12
SO
TEACH us
to number OUR days,

WISHES
NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
