LET CHRISTMAS CONTINUE



STARTED THE MORNING OFF BY WORKING on the portable table contents. When I look at this table sit up in the KITCHEN covered with THINGS, I just about shut down.  It screams for attention and I don't know where to go with it all. 

I pick up an item, deal with it then go off to do something else.  Each time I walk by the table an item is dealt with.  This is a slow way to work on this, but it is a way.  A pace I'm going by.

I don't know where the things are going to go in my TINY KITCHEN.  Stop and think about it. Baby steps.  

MY GOAL TODAY, is to get the table completely cleared off, turn the table and begin to gather ALL the pots 'n pans, bakeware, and cookware placing them in a orderly fashion to see just what I do have to deal with.  THEN write the inventory down and take some pictures, printing the images off on paper making up a notebook.

This could get INTERESTING deciding where everything should go.  After I get this far, I can continue sorting through the boxes on the floor until they are no more.  At the rate I am going, it'll be SPRING before I have cleared all the boxes.  SPRING is in about 100 days.  Wonderful.  I look forward to Spring flowers popping up after a long WINTER.  

My CHRISTMAS decorating is finished for the year.  The Nativity Scene is displayed in the Living room.  The lit faux garland is hung in the doorway.  Miniature trees are on the ledge of the Kitchen window.  The front porch has a few things on it for the season.  A couple of lamps on a table, a Christmas pillow on the church pew, some large containers of greens on the porch steps. That's it and that's enough for this year.  Christmas is about celebrating the earthly birth of our SAVIOR and not so much about the festivities of decorating.  Although the decorating warms my soul during such cold weather and the splashes of color add interest to the otherwise dreary color palette.  The meager things we do to draw attention to JESUS have their place and I love CHRISTMAS TIME.   

CHRISTMAS cards and letters this week.  I'll have to stretch the time out that it takes to complete.  Once again I have not gotten the cards sent early in the month.  Some cookies and candy will be made next week.  Gifts in the mail.  

A HOME full of joyful sounds is wonderful.
Playing CHRISTMAS MUSIC continues and oh how I enjoy it.

Let CHRISTMAS continue,
~d

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.

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
