HUBBY's Birthday On CHRISTMAS EVE
This bright morning I woke to SNOW covering everything outside that I could see. Thrilled to have a frosting glazed over my corner of small town america. Though it's cold outside, my heart grows warm because I got my wish of a WHITE CHRISTMAS. I dreamed. I hoped for. I asked. I received!!!
Today, I will bake my Husband a German Chocolate Cake with special frosting wishing him a very HAPPY Birthday. His 63rd. I've known him since he was 18 turning 19. That Birthday he received a loaf of french bread, cheese and a bottle of Spanada wine. I thought it was a grown up gift for a guy turning 19. We were young, but not that young. Now he gets practical socks, a billfold, shirt. grins. All for the greater goooooood.
I've known him for 45 years. Boggles my little brain. 45 years. Geez...that a while. We were talking in the kitchen and he mentioned he was taller then stood on his tippy toes and I said I was skinnier and sucked my gut in. Ha. Things changed. Much changed.
We'd marry 9 months later to become Mister and Misses Couple.
Tis CHRISTMAS EVE and I'm singing CHRISTMAS Carols. I love CHRISTMAS music. Light some candles and play some music.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Dear......and many more. Love you.
CHRISTmas is near. Hallelujah. The Lord has come. I think this CHRISTmas some of my children will receive their gifts on Epiphany, January 6th. That will ease the stress and tension of doing so much this time of year and didn't the WISE MEN arrive on Epiphany to give the LORD gifts? 12 days after December 25th is January 6th. AND don't we all need some more time to pull it all together? I do. Especially this year. Amen.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HONEY.
GOD BLESS and I pray that all of you out there in BLOGLAND have a BLESSED CHRISTMAS,

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
