Hey ZACH ... <didn't know you could see me   > I'm fine today!  I really enjoy all the fun here.  But I'm much better at "observing" than anything else.    Have a good day for yourself!

Hey there, Zachery!  You are so much fun!  My little grand-neice got a blanket like that at her shower, it was cute.  Looks quick and easy to do.  No sewing!

Abby and I went swimming and later she is going to draw pictures for servicepeople.  I got more names in an email yesterday, some of them are receiving NO mail at all........very sad.  So I will write more letters and enclose drawings from Abby and hope it will cheer a lonely soldier's heart, far from home.

I have a couple more gifts to buy, some to wrap......when I run out of time, then I'm done, I guess.

Hey Pat!  How you doing today?

Etta Sue, so sorry about your arm.  I use my mouse on a lap board, and still strain my arms.  I don't have a keyboard shelf.  Hope you get relief---PRONTO!

Good to see all of you this morning, talk more later!

Good afternoon monday 4.00PM

Sonja Thank you for the drummer boy i love that song

Good afternoon, Ria!  How are your eyes today?  Better I hope.  

A little something for you.

Hope you have a good evening.  

I love these humminbirds there so cute!!


love you all

Hi all: well my car is going into the shop today. I am taking the day off but she is giving me my regular amout of time  (4 hrs.) anyway. At least I won't be losing anymore $$$$ over this deal.

Be back Later

Marilyn, it is sad that lady is so unreasonable about your car window.  But I'm glad the problem will soon be behind you, except for the expense.  

Ria, I hope your eyes feel better today.  Cataract surgery isn't bad, not painful at all, so they tell me.  I also have the very beginnings of cataracts in my eyes, but not enough to worry with yet.  And I am believing for them to stay that way!

Just stopping by to see what's happening in here!

SONJA you can read on page 4 what i have with my eyes i hope you all have understand
sometimes it is difficult to write in English .

I love you dear SONJA

GOLD, COMMON SENSE AND FUR

My husband and I had been happily (most of the time) married for five years, but hadn't been blessed with a baby. I decided to do some serious praying and promised God that if He would give us a child, I would be a perfect mother, love it with all my heart and raise it with His word as my guide. God answered my prayers and blessed us with a son.
The next year God blessed us with another son. The following year, He blessed us with yet another son. The year after that we were blessed with a daughter.

My husband thought we'd been blessed right into poverty. We now had four children, and the oldest was only four years old. I learned never to ask God for anything unless I meant it. As a minister once told me, "If you pray for rain, make sure you carry an umbrella."

I began reading a few verses of the Bible to the children each day as they lay in their cribs. I was off to a good start. God had entrusted me with four children and I didn't want to disappoint Him.

I tried to be patient the day the children smashed two dozen eggs on the kitchen floor searching for baby chicks. I tried to be understanding when they started a hotel for homeless frogs in the spare bedroom, although it took me nearly two hours to catch all twenty-three frogs.

When my daughter poured ketchup all over herself and rolled up in a blanket to see how it felt to be a hot dog, I tried to see the humor rather than the mess.

In spite of changing over twenty-five thousand diapers, never eating a hot meal and never sleeping for more than thirty minutes at a time, I still thank God daily for my children.

While I couldn't keep my promise to be a perfect mother. I didn't even come close. I did keep my promise to raise them in the Word of God.

I knew I was missing the mark just a little when I told my daughter we were going to church to worship God, and she wanted to bring a bar of soap along to "wash up" Jesus, too.

Something was lost in the translation when I explained that God gave us everlasting life, and my son thought it was generous of God to give us his "last wife."

My proudest moment came during the children's Christmas pageant. My daughter was playing Mary, two of my sons were shepherds and my youngest son was a wise man. This was their moment to shine. My five-year-old shepherd had practiced his line, "We found the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes." But he was nervous and said, "The
baby was wrapped in wrinkled clothes."

My four-year-old "Mary" said, "That's not 'wrinkled clothes,' silly. That's dirty, rotten clothes." A wrestling match broke out between Mary and the shepherd and was stopped by an angel, who bent her halo and lost her left wing.

I slouched a little lower in my seat when Mary dropped the doll representing Baby Jesus, and it bounced down the aisle crying, "Mama, Mama." Mary grabbed the doll, wrapped it back up and held it tightly as the wise men arrived. My other son stepped forward wearing a bathrobe and a paper crown, knelt at the manger and announced, "We are the three wise men, and we are bringing gifts of gold, common sense and fur."

The congregation dissolved into laughter, and the pageant got a standing ovation. "I've never enjoyed a Christmas program as much as this one," Pastor Brian laughed, wiping tears from his eyes. "For the rest of my life, I'll never hear the Christmas story without
thinking of gold, common sense and fur."

My children are my pride and my greatest joy, I said, as I dug in my purse for an aspirin.

 
Janet, those two stories you have posted are really good.  The last one made me chuckle. It sounds like you are having a good time with Abby.

Ria, are you saying that none of your churches have any Sunday School for either the children or adults?  I can't image not having Sunday School.  In our church we actually have more adults attending Sunday School than children attending.  Do hope your eyes will soon be feeling better.  I am not familar with the condition you named although it sounds like it is something that involves wthe retinas.


Mullet, I have a little story for you to translate.  This is one that my Mother told my sister and I as we were growing up:

As I was going around my whirywhikwakit, a saw a bombackit.
I called my tombackit to get the bombackit out of my whirlywhikwakit.

Can you translate that into everyday language?    As a Junior Member here on CP it should be a breeze.  

Marilyn, hope your car window will be fixed by the time you read this and the lady you work for will be satisfied.

Etta Sue, will be we seeing some pictures of that babe?  Sorry to hear that the pain continues in your arm.

Liz, glad you are feeling better today and able to get out a bit.  I guess your move will be coming up shortly after the holidays.  Ruth Ann, sure hope you stay feeling better.

Hi to everyone I haven't mentioned who has or will be posting today.

The above Christmas Hymn has quite a beat to it.  It was written by Jester Hairston, who was the old deacon on the program "Amen" that was on television for several years.  He was quite an accomplished musician.  I have song this music with our church choir.  

I really like that song, Larry.  Thanks!  And glad you enjoyed the little stories.

I know the first one and last ones are wicker basket.
but tombacket and bombacket, not a clue

Well I heard some interesiting news today. At about 11:16 a.m. there was a 6.5 earthquake about 500 miles south of here around the Paso Robles area, 200 miles north of Los Angeles.
What else would one expect living in California.?

Nope Larry my car isn't fixed yet, I don't take it in until 2 p.m. I couldn't find anyone to fvollow me there this morning. So I am going tohave to just sit there and wait for it to be finished. But Thank the Lord it will be done whether or not I willb e working for her. I never know when she is going tochange her mind again. At 94, it is a pretty common thing. I hope I am more cooperative should Jesus tarry.  If I should live so long. I pray Jesus will come before then.

LARRY thank you for the very nice song Mary's boy child.
But no in hole Holland are no SUNDAY SCHOOLS more that was so when i was child but now i am 52 but i loved Sunday School when i was a child on second
CHRISTMASS DAY then we had Christmass from Sunday
School and then we get all a book the reason there for
was that we every Sunday are coming on Sunday School. BUT IT IS NO MORE

NOW the children are going out the church when the pastor started with his preach  and then the children
may play there they can listen to someone they read out the children Bible i also have sometimes that done but no more i don't like that.
When i was child we go first to the church and then to SUNDAY SCHOOL we loved that as child.
But things are changing in Holland
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR WIFE  LARRY
LOVE RIA

Hi Everyone!

Just got caught up with all of your messages!  I won't mention them all.  It's good to see you all.

Thanks Janet for changing the date last night.  I'm still not up to par but the good news?  I think I'll live!  HAHAHA!

Hi Pat sorry to hear you are feeling poorly.   I pray you will be better very soon.  

I spent the last 4 hours at the body Shop while Brother Fred from church worked on the windows of my car. Hey They both work now. Praise the Lord!!

I only had to pay for parts. He spent all that time and then wouldn' t charge me for the labor. Said he didn't want to spoil my Christmas. I just love my brothers and Sisters in the Lord.

Please pray for the people who lost loved ones in the earthquake in Paso Robles, California. A building collaped on many people.

I got this from McAfee  in an email today.


Dear Marilyn,

W32/Sober.c@MM is a Medium Risk mass-mailing worm. The worm arrives as an email with varying subject lines and message bodies (in English and German). When run, the worm displays a series of fake error messages. It then infects the host computer and emails itself to email addresses collected from the victim's machine.

The worm tries to stay alive on an infected system by running two processes concurrently. Upon termination of one of the processes, the other process restarts the worm very quickly.

Caution: An infected email can come from addresses you recognize and may contain the following information:

Marilyn, that is wonderful news about your car window being fixed now, and how nice of the guy not to charge you!  God bless him!

I just posted new photos over in Photos Here and Signs of the season, if anyone wants to look!

I met Abby's daddy half way to return her, as they are having their company Christmas party tonight.  So it is pretty quiet here now.

Pat I pray that you have continued good health.


Mullet you make me smile.

To everyone else I have enjoyed reading all of the posts.

Pat:  I hope that you are feeling better very soon so you can fully enjoy Christmas Eve and Day!  Take time to relax that day & care for yourself.

Sonja:  hahaha- I know exactly what you make.  They are such comfy blankets.

Mullet:  I have a son who has Coca Cola objects around the house too.  You are lucky to be in such a good and loving family.  Oh, now I know what that haircut is called - stay warm!  

I won't be in here for several days as we are working at the shelter tomorrow and then staying with a son for several days.  All of the food is ready to go and all of our gifts are wrapped.  Excitement is building.  My best wishes to all for a healthy holiday and it is lovely to know "the reason for the season".  Carol

That is scarey. I will be praying for everyones computers not to get the worm s o they can stay on and chat.



the fly is our computers!!

hehehhahehahehahe

I got a coca-cola bear on my third birthday and I still have it 10 years later.
It is my favorite stuffed animal.

Remember folks, you don't have to reply to everyone, just come in and say hello.  We miss you all!

Luv you!
Sonja

I'm so sorry that I've been absent today but I just got a touch of tummy problems yesterday.

They aren't gone yet but I'm feeling much better.

Time to lock the door and time to start another topic for tomorrow.
