HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

NOVEMBER 9th
~FLUSTER BUSTER~




HOW DO YOU STAY FLEXIBLE WITHOUT GETTING FLUSTERED?  That's the million dollar question for the day, season, Holiday, year, etc.



How do you stay flexible without getting fLuStErEd?  I'm not a novice at HOLIDAYS. OLD AGE got a hold of me....somehow.  Gee whoop.  I know that simplicity can add mileage and longevity to one's nerves.  Pacing yourself, keeping it real but REAL simple, planning, giving yourself enough time to accomplish what needs done and asking FOR HELP.  Take time to unwind and pray.  Pray to unwind.


In the real world, even when I give myself enough time LIFE HAPPENS and it can become easy to get upset because what seemed like adequate time somehow RAN out, got AWAY from me, disappeared. Is it possible to give an inch so you can go a mile?  It isn't all about having the right attitude, but this does play a huge part in being able to relax, flex, and have a successful HOLIDAY that is easy to enjoy.



If all goes belly up and it's not a nice experience, having a care-free attitude might be what the doctor ordered.  I said all that to say this.....the PRESSURE IS ON.  R  e  l  a   x.

You don't get this time back.  Spend it well and don't care so much about perfection when it's on a personal level for HOME.  ALL CAN GO WELL WITHOUT BEING PERFECT.  Enjoy and do your best to relax.




The meal will be over before you know it and then there's the clean-up.  Take a break before moving onto the next big event.  Deep breathing and don't care so much.  Letting loose.  No worries.




LIFE is short.
MAKE WISE CHOICES.
KNOW THE LORD and embrace HIS counsel.
Grateful attitude.
Appreciate what you have and be THANKFUL.
You'll be BLESSED.


Thanks for stopping by.
MAKING HOME A PRIORITY
one day at a time,

Very wise words!!

The Charm of Home said...

What is home? Should it be stressful? If it is why? Whose idea of home are we buying into? Jesus had such great teachings Luke 12:22-31. If you read that, do you think Jesus would have worries about the holidays? I have walked down this path also, I know how you are feeling. Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home.

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.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

BLOSSOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

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
