Blessings to you and yours, Dolly. My heart is with you today.

[Peach]

You gave Oliver a great life, Dolly. May the comfort of friends help you right now. Love, Peach

[Jemian]

I can't attend in person, but you know my spirit will be with you as you give Oliver this tribute of love.

[freema]

Do that. This is one of the candies that tastes just as good now as it did then!

[freema]

Nearly choked on my coffee...darling story!

[freema]

I am sorry to hear about Oliver.

[snugs]

God Bless you Dolly hope you get to the service as I am sure it will do you good.

Though I am certain it will be upsetting to you I hope that the service for Oliver will be of comfort to you.

Love
Eleanor

Beautiful picture

Oliver was a special gift that the Lord lend to a special owner

Oliver now resides (and waits for you) in the "mansion" the Lord has prepared for you

Born In Us

Read:
Micah 5:1-5

Bethlehem Ephrathah, . . . out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel. —Micah 5:2

Bible In One Year: 1 Timothy 1-3

During a visit to England's picturesque Stratford-upon-Avon, I was struck by how a town's identity and future can be affected just because someone was born there. Every year, half a million people come to visit the birthplace of William Shakespeare, whom some consider the most influential playwright in the English language.

And what about Bethlehem? With the birth of Jesus, Micah's prophecy of significance was fulfilled: "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting" (Micah 5:2). Bethlehem is defined by Jesus' birth.

Isn't the same true for us? When Christ comes to live in us, we are changed. No longer just ordinary human beings, we become the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. Our identity and destiny are marked by Him, just as surely as a town becomes known for the significant person who was born there.

Christmas is a wonderful time to celebrate the presence of Christ in us, and the change He brings to all who invite Him in. —David McCasland

O holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in—
Be born in us today. —Brooks

God came to live with us so we could live with Him.

Good Morning Dolly,
That's a beautiful picture of Oliver. I'm thinking of you. I'll say a prayer at 4 today.

[freema]

Was this choice of post a "coincidence'?

[The Mayor]

Would have to be, I post them as they are in their website..

[Billie]

We are thinking of you today and our hearts will be with you as
you place little Oliver in the ground where he loved to run and play.

[freema]

Well then, a much deserved "WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" is in order, my standard response for things of this nature +

THE REASON FOR THE SEASON

The Christmas Story

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee
To Bethlehem the town of David,
He went there to register with Mary,
who was pledged to be married to him
and was expecting a child.
While they were there, the time came
for the baby to be born,
and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son.
She wrapped him in cloths
and placed him in a manger
because there was no room for them in the inn.
An angel of the Lord appeared to them,
and the glory of the Lord shown around them,
and they were terrified.
But the angel said to them,
"Do not be afraid.
I bring you good news of great joy
that will be for all the people.
Today in the town of David
a Savior has been born to you;
He is Christ the Lord.
This will be a sign to you:
You will find a baby wrapped in cloths
and lying in a manger."
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host
appeared with the angel,
praising God and saying,

"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men
on whom his favor rests."

Luke 2:1-7, 9-14
