Serving The Best Troops and Veterans In The Whole Sorld !! | The Canteen Elves

For Unto You Is Born This Day...
A Savior...Christ The Lord

Merry CHRISTmas, Troops!!

LUKE 2:1-20
King James Version (KJV)

1..And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

2..(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)

3..And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

4..And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David)

5..To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.

6..And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

7..And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

8..And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9..And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10..And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11..For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

12..And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13..And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14..Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15..And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

16..And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

17..And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

18..And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

19..But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

20..And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Merry (almost) Christmas, radu!

Had a great lunch with the kids, I was overruled and we went to Red Robin instead of Applebees and we all had a fine meal!

Then we came back to my place to hang and exchange presents.

BTW, I watched 'The Abominable Dr. Phibes' and 'Dr. Phibes Rises Again' yesterday and today. Vincent Price horror movies were so great!

All the kittehs ready for Christmas?

Howdy, LUV.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Is it still warm there or did it cool back off so it feels more like Christmas weather?

A Blessed Merry Christmas To All


Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?

Did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?

Mary, Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new
This child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you?

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?

Mary, Did you know
That your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?

Did you know
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little boy
Youve kissed the face of God?

Mary, did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
And the dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the lamb

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy is lord of all creation?

Mary, Did you know
That your baby boy will one day rule the nations?

Did you know
That your baby boy is heavens perfect lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding
Is the great I am?

"Mary Did You Know" sung by Kenny Rogers and Winona Judd

Sung by Mark Lowery

Sounds like y’all had a great time today!

And you had Vincent Price to add to the weekend fun. I saw ‘The Abominable Dr. Phibes’ a week or so ago on COMET but haven’t seen ‘Dr. Phibes Rises Again’ in quite a while.

I just finished watching ‘The Princess Bride’ and watched ‘The Wizard of OZ’ before that.

The kittehs are all getting coal in their stockings. They’ve been little monsters the past couple of days. I guess it’s the wind roaring outside that has them stirred up.

There you are.

It’ll be a quiet day, then we’ll go to a Christmas party tomorrow night. I need to whip up some pimento cheese tonight so it can blend and be tasty for the little sandwiches we’ll take.

Cold here! Snow is in the area but I haven’t seen any spitting down when I’ve looked out the windows ..... yet.

Thanks, Meg. First time I heard this song, I was hit hard by the verse, “When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God”. Really says it all. Love this song. Kathy Mattea sings it well also.
Thanks again, and A Blessed Christmas to all the Freeper Family!

It got darn cold this morning. A cold front blew in and it never got past the low 40s. That’s pretty cold for us! Right now it’s 39 and feels like 23. And of course, I didn’t wear a coat tonight to worship because I’m a dork. LOL!

Now I have diet coke, popcorn and Peaches curled up at the foot of the bed. I’m happy! :)

Just listening for sleigh bells.
