~Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place~


***
Our Father, we long for the simple beauty of Christmas
~for all the old familiar melodies, words, and symbols that remind us of that great miracle when He who had made all things came one night as a babe, to lie in the crook of a woman’s arm.
But in that longing, let us even more yearn for your renewed presence among us even as we celebrate and expect the Coming of your Son.....

May the loving kindness of this Advent Season and the true Spirit of Christmas not only creep into our hearts this season, but there abide, so that not even the return to earthly cares and responsibilities, not all the festivities of our own devising may cause it to creep away weeping. May the joy and spirit of Christmas remain with us now and forever. In the name of Jesus, who came to save His people from their sins, even in that lovely name we pray. Amen.
***
Blessings To All Who Enter Here

running late for church, so I’ll not try and floormat this.

A Liberal’s Christmas
Kung Pao Buckaroo Holiday

Twas the month before Christmas

When all through our land,

Not a Christian was praying

Nor taking a stand.

Why the Politically Correct Police had taken away

The reason for Christmas - no one could say.

The children were told by their schools not to sing

About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.

It might hurt people’s feelings, the teachers would say

December 25th is just a ‘ Holiday’.

Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit

Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!

CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod

Something was changing, something quite odd!

Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa

In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.

As Targets were hanging their trees upside down

At Lowe’s the word Christmas - was no where to be found.

At K-Mart and Staples and Penny’s and Sears

You won’t hear the word Christmas; it won’t touch your ears.

Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty

Are words that were used to intimidate me.

Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen

On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!

At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter

To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.

And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith

Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace

The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded

The reason for the season, stopped before it started.

So as you celebrate ‘Winter Break’ under your ‘Dream Tree’

Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.

Choose your words carefully, choose what you say

Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday!

Please, all Christians join together and wish everyone you meet MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christ is The Reason’ for the Christ-mas Season!

The REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

Labor of Love

What a First Christmas, The McKamey’s

A Baby Changes Every Thing, Faith Hill

IF Stores only have happy holidays on their doors, you as a Christian have a choice to make, do I spend my money in the store that is PC and has driven out the True Meaning of Christmas, or do I want to shop at a store that still has the courage to say Merry CHRISTmas. The only way to get through to the PC Liberals is to hurt their Bottom Line PROFITS! We can fight back with our wallets, or cave in to the PC liberals who want NO GOD, NO JESUS, only a one world religion that neither promotes peace nor harmony, but is a cult of ME FIRST!
