Doing the HAPPY DANCE!
while sitting down in my overstuffed chair.
Alone with my coffee pot and a hot cup of JAVA in my mug.
Not going a n y w h e r e today.
Staying put at HOME.
Can I do this? Not stir crazee.
Have plans to sit and think.
Wrap a few presents.
Make a few phone calls.
Pay some bills....broken record.
Maybe make some Christmas Peppermint Patties.
So quiet here.
So nice.
Don't you find yourself sometimes needing quiet?
I do.
I have been on the go. Ready to sit. So sitting I am.
Yesterday, I made a deliberate trip to the Mall. Saw Santa. Met up with Daughter. Lil Miss smiled while sitting on SANTA's lap. She wouldn't tell her Momma what she told SANTA she wanted for Christmas. Grins. A well kept secret.
Walking through the Mall. Noticed on display Dillards beautiful Christmas dishes. One of these days....Christmas Dishes will be at HOME with me. Need to price these Fitz and Floyd beauties.
It is so bitter cold out. When I have errands to run....grin and bare it. Shaking the whole time.
Noticed that the Grocery Store had available a few Christmas Trees wrapped in netting. Easier to transport home. Hummmm. It isn't easy for me to say no, I'll not put up a tree this year. The Porch isn't decorated. Inside the House only has a few decorations out, but CHRIST IS BIG IN MY HEART. CHRISTMAS every day of the week. Every moment of the day.
Wonderful JESUS.
This relationship I have with the LORD isn't a religion...it's a heart warming relationship that makes it easy to talk to HIM. Makes it easy to enter God's Courts with Praise and Thanksgiving in my heart.
Jesus did all the work so you do not have to. He gives you rest and peace. It's not by your might nor by your power, but by God's Spirit.
So when the Lord Jesus is in your heart, you can be at ease. Those long needed heart to heart talks that you are needing to have with someone, can be between you and God even while driving.
I drove through the City Park decorated with Christmas Lights because I heard that Sleigh Rides were taking place. Gosh, I wish I had my camera. Their Park is beautiful. The Horse drawn Sleigh had twinkle lights on her and was leisurely moving through the Park with a sleighful of children bundled in winter attire.
Onto my HOME,
