CHRISTMAS House

| The Christmas House |
Slept in this Saturday morning and woke feeling refreshed. Pouring my cup of coffee, I noticed a note from my husband on the kitchen counter top stating that he had taken our Airedale Delilah to get her rabies shot.
I tinkered around putting some Christmas Decorations in a red tub. Put some laundry in to wash. Put some dishes away, looked through a newspaper, checked email and decided I need to locate my stuffed snowmen. Researched some medical info. Read some on the Victoria Jackson Show Blog. Thought about what I have learned over the years concerning certain religious movements. What I should accomplish this week-end.
Read daily devotionals as a couple and prayed.
Had lunch, visited with the girls, went down into the cellar to look for snowmen. Road along with Hubby out to a storage unit to put some decorations away. Found my snowmen. Took a drive. Talked about the future. Admired the Christmas House AGAIN.
Stopped by the Post Office to get the mail and walked down to the local Antique Store to dream. There are a few items I wouldn't mind having. That's easy. Headed to the local Restaurant for Supper. Praise the Lord! I was a Salad Eater tonight.
The temps chilled down, but we walked the Main Street of our little town. Drove home, unloaded the car. Watched a little television. Sipped a diet soda. Munched some popcorn. Deleted pictures from files that I no longer need.
As I read the local newspaper...in the obituaries was a photo of a little smiling baby. This little guy was only a few months old when he passed into eternity. Also, the neighbor man died just before Christmas. He had fought a long battle against cancer. When I read that such and such passed away from cancer.....I have to stop and think about having more time on earth and what I am to do with this gift called life. May I not forget that I am just a heartbeat away from eternity. We all are.
A very slow paced day. I need them and feel blessed to have them.
I will fall asleep tonight thinking about how I would decorate the Christmas House. The decorating that goes on in my head is affordable and entertaining.

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

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

A busy time.
Dd,
Maybe one day we can buy the Christmas house. :) Okay to dream
isn't it?
I think of the size of the rooms, the lot, the carriage house out back, and what we could do with that.
