You tell them Amen to all of that. We all should remember what Christmas stands for. I know for as long as I am here on Gods green Earth I will know that he gave his son for us. I know that i am grateful that I am here able to see my children grow. And to spend time with them even if it is to just pop popcorn or just to sit with them atleast I was given that oppurtunity right. Well John have a great day

Great post! So very true. good for you!!!! (((hugs)))
You go brother!! It is a proven fact that you can not have an attitude of gratitude and be depressed at the same time.

Hi Birdman!!
That was a very nice post and very true as well. I admit I have been down over the past several weeks. But, I’ll try to keep your post in mind next time I start getting depressed.
Now, what kinda Santa is THAT?! Tsk tsk. I read your list of info in your last post as well. And, I have to agree, you’re a man! LOL!
Well my friend. Be well, be safe, be blesssed! I worry about you!
(((HUGS))) B.B.
What a deliciously naughty Santa you have there. Tsk tsk. I’m thankful. My babydoll will be home late Thursday until Jan 2nd spending the Holidays with me….and I have a JOB! So Santa brought my presents early.
Be at peace, John.
It’s good to hear someone encouraging like you. Now is your time. Later may be ours, when you need it. yrrem samtsirhc! jaywassailSC
Thanks for putting it back into perspective for us! You are so right! One thing I love about Christmas is getting to help those less fortunate then me. It really makes me remember how blessed I truly am! Be safe! oh, mamablueeyes is my mother in law’s site. I don’t know if I typed it correctly jut now, but she is one my subscription list & I just tagged her in my post today.
Those are some great encouraging words, thanks!! I will definitely keep that in mind to be thankful and not get stressed out over Christmas. Really been trying to keep the focus in the right place this year and remember it as a time of anticipation and hope that Christ brings. Hang in there baby!
My babydoll is my daughter, Nell. She finishes her finals on Thursday and then is driving to the cities with a friend. We never stop missing our babies. My Grandfather used to call me his babydoll…that’s where I get it. Good job on the memory. I use an Almond shampoo. It smells delicious. Even I like smelling my hair after a shower. I’m so glad you had a good time with your girls. I chuckled just imagining their excitement feeding the ducks.
Ciao, mi amico!
Where did you get that picture of Mom sitting on my lap when I played Santa Clause? I thought I was the only one with that picture. She was a fox in her day.
Good Day Sir John!!!! You are absolutely correct and I think of you every time I sit down to write my post and I know you want to see happy thoughts. BTW… Chicken little. Of course hubby knows but that didn’t mean you couldn’t give me a memory. I understand you will be seeing us in April. I sure hope so. Stay safe and stay sane. With great big hugs from KC, MO. Hugs and loves~Tami
Where’d you get that pic of me & santa? Hehehehehehe (I wish) That was a great post!! You are soooo right! You are a great man. Whoever snags you up is gonna be one lucky lady. Prayer are still going for ya! God Bless! Have a good weekend!
Ya YA…so does that mean when I’m having a shit day I am no longer allowed to talk about it? J/k! I do know the reason for the season! I have that same Bible…..a friend gave it to me. I have to confess tho, I don’t read it often enough. Anyhow in 15 days all the hoopla will be over and we can start planning for Spring………Did you get the email I sent to you about the invitation from Jesus? It was SO COOL! ttys…have a good day! HUGS -teri
See how you are….lol I’ll resend the mail….lol
You are so right. To many people think Christmas is about how much you can spend or what you get. Christmas is what you give from your heart,,,no money needed. Take care of you

Stay safe and stay sane

Hi there I hope your weekend is going good. RYC as soon as I can get a new scanner I will put a pic of me and my family up. ok take care John and have a bless day

My daughter, nieces and nephews make Christmas lists. I tell them to put on it only the things they really want, and not very expensive. They know we don’t have lots of money. So they are usually very good about that. Then we pass the list out to the family. Santa usually gets them one good present off the list.
I’m grateful the kids understand and MOST of the time don’t ask for more than we can give. They are so considerate, it breaks my heart sometimes. LOL
That picture you have up today reminds me of the picture I took with Santa Saturday. Hahaha! He was all for me sitting on his lap, but I chose to sit at his side. LOL
Oh, yeah. I also wasn’t dressed so comfortably. Ho ho ho!
