And, then - there were the Scotch Tape Commercials!
Beautiful presentations to our military, ladies. Thank You.
Caused me to reflect back to Christmas ‘65. I was deployed that year to WESTPAC hitting ports in Japan, Tiawan, and the Philipines.
Newly married in June of that year my bride and I were half a world apart. My mother-in-law sent a Christmas card and inside was a sprig of fir tree, from their Christmas tree. I’ll never forget that special Christmas.

PS
My husband was deployed in the Pacific Christmas of 54..
The pictures of me taken that Christmas holding our baby son show sad eyes. Our baby boy was 2 months old when my husband was deployed.
And its not just the Christmas story. Its the story of Gods pursuit of Adam and Eve after the fall. His pursuit of me! His pursuit of you! Where would we be today if God weren't the Hound of Heaven?
’ ...
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me? Wesley
Gods undying desire for you will never cease.”

HE GAVE US HIS WORD THAT WE WOULD KNOW HOW TO LIVE FOR GOOD, NOT ILL.
Yet, we persist in doing our own will ... day by day.
FORGIVE US LORD, HELP US TO COME NEAR TO THEE AND FOLLOW THY WORD, IN JESUS NAME, AMEN!

You’re welcome, M. That would be so much fun. I suppose we’d have to go visit yorkie as you or I would have to use the fake white stuff! ;)
Thanks, t-pammy!
Have a wonderful day!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Joy of Christmas to you, too.
being a Christian,
Living in America,
living in Texas,
being a conservative,
living in a city of less than 130,000,
having a warm bed
a roof over my head,
food to eat,
home to own
no despair
Sweet kittens and a dog, not much else a person could want
except Christian leaders the love our nation ...
and does works for good not evil.
I am most thankful and consider myself blessed of God.
You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED. |
Thanks!
When I see our troops with children and animals my screen gets all blurry. Just can't figure that out! ;) God Bless them ALL!
Hope your FRiday is a good one!
Thank you!
I must 'borrow' you blinking holly! ;)
Have a wonderful visit with your Mom. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
After much thought and contemplation, I have come to the conclusion that...
There really isn't anything more useless than...
A Christmas cat!
(except squirrels!)
Santa Paws is coming to town!
