Frosting On The Cake
THIS IS GOING TO BE one of those whirlwind CHRISTMASES....where I will be working on gifts right up to the last minute. Somehow I am alright with this as it's the best I can do under the circumstances. Generally I am relieved when all the CHRISTMAS gifts are ready to go and may already be in the hands of loved ones and friends.
This year is uniquely different. Obligations have come before actual CHRISTMAS SHOPPING and I'm going to be just fine. The Christmas cards will be worked on the coming week and if for some reason I can't get to them...well it will be just fine. I'll explain later and that will be the way it is.
THE LORD's BIRTHDAY will be what is of the most importance, not greeting cards or gifts. Pausing to think on HIM. I put out a Nativity Set that I have owned for nearly 20 years which reaffirmed that this really is one of the things I enjoy doing the most. The Christmas Tree and a few lights are next.
As I unwrapped the Nativity Set, I know my face must have been smiling as I felt so much pleasure. Peace.
If it snows on CHRISTMAS, it will be like frosting on the cake.
God bless and peace to 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

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
