Work Fast
SPENT THE WEEK-END in Oklahoma celebrating Epiphany when the WISEMEN gave baby Jesus gifts. Decided to take Christmas gifts to the grandchildren. When I showed my 3 year old Grandson a ornament for him, he said he wanted to buy it. I said, it was a gift to him. This didn't register as he continued to say he wanted to buy it. Sweet child.
We had a pleasant drive across our state for a great visit then on the road again. Gently raining the entire way from Oklahoma to Kansas. Smelt like a Spring rain. REFRESHING.
Stopped by my Mom's on Sunday afternoon to say Hello. Quick visit then a drive the rest of the way HOME while it was still light out. Saw no deer.
Had hopes of resting Monday as driving seems to catch up with kind of like jet lag.
TODAY, I managed to take the acrylic snowflakes off of the upstairs Christmas tree, wrap the Nativity items up to place in storage boxes, look over bills, drive over to RETIREMENT COTTAGE to go through storage boxes, loaded some boxes into the car and waited for my Husband to meet up with me to fix a house window. We went ahead and ate at the Mexican Restaurant for Supper. No protest. Visited then went HOME.
As I worked in the Cottage, I got a little overwhelmed wondering where to go with all the SANTAS. Too many. I have to thin down my collection. I don't know about this phase in life as to when I will be downsized to where I am comfortable with being downsized. I sound like a broken record.
Officially tired tonight. Hope to sleep well and be rested for another day. I'll continue to pack CHRISTMAS up. I will be carrying small vinyl boxes from upstairs to the Kitchen. Eventually they will be taken to the basement for storage. Hopefully by this week-end the trees will be packed away. My poor house looks messy all over again.
WORK FAST,

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~

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
