HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!!!

I hope that EVERYONE puts their birthday in their Profile here on CP.

If you click on Chris's name, you'll see a little birthday cake in there!  Isn't that cute?  Chris, did you see it?

I didn't do it.  The software does it.

Sonja, that's beautiful!

Posting this for Ria.  

Celebrex isn't working for me.  My pharmacist said to take Tylenol WITH the Celebrex.  Now it isn't as intense but it is all the time!!!  Took my last Celebrex this morning.  Pharmacist said to take Ibuprofen when Celebrex is gone.  Called the doctor this morning.  I have an appointment Friday 8:50am.  Wouldn't call in an RX without seeing me.  So I am expecting pain for a few days.  My best recollections tells me this started last Thursday morning!!!!!!!!!

I have some pictures of Daniel.  Just click on the red.  

It is going to be a white CHRISTmas in Indiana!!!!  Hopefully Jerry's two kids and families will get here from Ohio...a two hour drive on a good day!!!  Snow is coming down real good right now.    But my DIL sent me an IM saying they were stopping by sometime today.  

Got to get off of here.  This arm is driving me bonkers!!!!!

Thanks Pat!  I hope you have a safe drive.  Don't forget to wear your seatbelt.  
And most important, don't be getting those kids up to early.   Presents are fun but the kids need their sleep. hehehehe....

LOL  Great job, Papa John!  You did well in your Paint Shop Pro lessons!  

Thanks Sonja...  I'll drive carefully.

Hi Zach!  How's my boy?

Nice graphic, Ria.  Thanks Sonja for posting that for Ria.

I'm so sorry, Etta Sue, that you're having such trouble.  I do know that celebrex must be built up in your body over a period of time and that's one thing I didn't realize when I started taking it.  I only took it when I had pain and it didn't work but after awhile it does for me.  I hope you get relief.  Ice packs help too.

SONJA THANK YOU THAT YOU HAVE PUT
THE PICTURE ON NEM I LOVE YOU

PAPA JOHN I AM ALSO HAPPY TO SEE YOU I WISH YOU AND CORNELIA ALSO A BLESSED CHRISTMASS.

PAT TAKE CARE ON THE ROAD WE CAN NOT MISSING YOU DEAR PAT.

BYE LOVE RIA

When I was a little boy Christmas was the most exciting time of the year.  I know that it IS "more blessed to give than to receive."  But it was blessed to receive.  When I was about five years old I remember getting a sweater.  I was so proud of that sweater.  The weather was mild and I remember showing the sweater to my friend who lived across the street.

Christmas has a different kind of excitement for me today.  I am so proud when the children and grandchildren come in.  I think of how wonderfully God has blessed me.  I have a wonderful wife God gave me fifty-four years ago.  We have three beautiful daughters.  They are grown now and two are married with their husbands  and with their own children.  God has given us six grandchildren.  How exciting it is when we all get together.  Four granddaughters are married so they bring their husbands with them.  There are 17 of us with a great grandchild on the way.

But what makes it more exciting, more than presents, more than family getting together, is the fact that we are thinking about our Savior who was born in the little town of Bethlehem.  "Christ the Savior is born."  Actually we don't know WHEN he was born but a day has been selected when we all can think about that day so many years ago when our Jesus was born and the love and grace of God began to be revealed to us so that today we can put our faith in Christ who died on the cross to redeem us and give us the hope of everlasting life.  

Thanks be to God who loves us so much he gave his only son to save us.  What a wonderful gift.

Oh, thank you for that, Papa John.  Families are so important.  

When my whole family was together was probably in 1984 or so. Many have been added since that day and my mother is no longer with us. I think I miss her most of all. She has been gone now since 1997. I can not get through Christmas without thinking of her and how much she loved the Christmas season and the family get togethers with her brothers and sisters and then with my family.

Hi all.

Just popping in to say "hi" and Merry Christmas.  We are spending the night with Bernard's parents tonight, then will be gone all day tomorrow, so if we aren't "present" that's why.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

  I am at my home today in the California. It is just as I pray it will be. The lights and the trees and the fire and the food. I am warm for a first time today for many days.

I often did not undarstand why my family will travel so much. I did not undarstand why they have such a wonderful home and they are not ever here to enjoy it. Today I undarstand. This wonderful home it is not a home of what is real. It is a place to go to be with ones I love. It is a place in time to share a moment with others and to bring hope to ones that have nothing at all. Today there are 10 more brothers and sisters here in my home. I meet some of them today for the first time. The food is wonderful, the kitchen it is clean the friends are every where.

It is for me the most best Christmas ever. Jesus is in my home. With us today there are many here that do not even know His name. They are now my brothers and my sisters here. It is strange to me today I am a guest in my own home. When I was on my first day here at my new home in the USA I did have a many fears. Today I can be a help i think.

It is my hope today that everyone will take a time to say hello to a stranger and to wish them well. Soon there will not be a strangers any more.

I pray everyone will have a warm heart for the Christmas. The gift it is not under the tree at all. The greatest gift is love.

God is love, I hope he is in your home and in your heart as I find Him here with me this day.

A Merry Christmas Every One!!!!!!   I love you all.

PAT, I am doing good . hope you feel better .

I'm going x-mas shopping today AGAIN!!!
HE!!!HE!!! Fun

SARAH, hope you hve fun tomorow and the cleaning to go by fast!!hehehaah

((((((((((((((((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Ms Mieka!
I am so glad you are back in a warm cosey house with all your brothers, and sisters of the Lord.
It is great that you got back to the USA safely and unharmed, GOD hase truley blessed us with you being able to be here and talk to each other from so far away in places we would'nt be able to if we lived in the past.
Just think we would not have even been able to speak to each other, and that shows us that god is great.

With God all things are possible. I forgote wich book that was in.

love you Mieka

I'm so happy that you had a good flight home, Mieka.  

WELCOME HOME!

We love you so much


Now, I'm on my way to my daughter's home and I'll be back tomorrow sometime.

Love you all and Chris, enjoy your birthday!

Got this from the doctor in an email...


IMPORTANT HOLIDAY TIPS...

Carrot sticks: Avoid them. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving fudge.

Drink as much eggnog as you can. Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip?  It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have two. It's Christmas!

If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Christmas party is to eat other people's food for free.

Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food.

If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of a jolly elf, position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention.

Same for pies. Apple. Pumpkin. Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. When else do you get to have more than one dessert? Labor Day?

Fruitcake? Avoid it at all cost.

If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party then you haven't been paying attention. Reread these tips. But hurry! Cookieless January is just around the corner.

Thanks for that hymn, Chris.  I'll have to download it and have it as one of our regulars.  I really like the words.  I appreciate being a captive of my Saviour's.

Thanks so much.

I hope you tell us what you did for your birthday and what you had to eat and did you have a cake?  Any photos?

I've just printed out Iain's devotional and I'm taking it up to Janice's so that we can discuss it together.

What jumped out at you when you read that today?  Several things meant a lot to me.

  HAhahaha This it is too funny ms Pat.

I spend much time to cook and to help with the nutrition for so many each day. This is just as I think it should be. But only for 1 week ok.   Have a fun day ms Pat.

I LOVE YOU MIEKA
AND GOD BLESS YOU
RIA

It is 10.20 PM in Holland i close the computer and wish you all a goodnight
and tomorrow a Blessed Christmass Day.
My father is coming tomorrow. When my mother was alive then the hole family are coming together but since
she is gone in jan. 2002 each one is staying in his own home and that is making me sad.
This afternoon we have taken something for Christmass to the graves of my first husband, my mothers grave and the the grave of my husbands parents. Everyown in Holland is doing that.

But i wish you all a Blessed Christmass
Goodnight  Bye Love Ria

It is sooooooo very good to see Mieka here!!![/size][/color][/b]

I really think you should come up to northern California, but, if that is not possible, then I give to you the biggest cyber ((((HUG))) possible.
