Hi everyone...finally getting time to post!

Marilyn...I know how it feels to be ignored...it is even worse to feel hated..to feel hated by your mother...to feel hated by your sisters and brothers...to feel hated all you life. I always knew from an early age that God loved me...but I waited for a long time for another human being to put their arms around me and look into my eyes..and say they loved me.....my precious Marlene! If I seem to ignore you Marilyn..I am sorry. Take care and have a Happy Christmas.

Hi Jane...trhank you for your very kind words and you too have a very Happy Christmas.

To all the rest..I consider you all my friends and perhaps sometimes when I am making you laugh with my jokes...it is then I am hurting the most inside..I thank God He give me a sense of humour and I can laugh through tears. I do hope each and everyone has a blessed and Happy Christmas. I was a little sick...well more than a little sick last night...but I am getting over it..even got the Ginger Wine made today!
It is lovely to see our new British Prime Minister posting here...Gordon Brown!

Take care everyone...God bless!

QuoteWent on to say how it takes a lot of faith to climb a mountain, but it takes just as much faith to climb down.  Can your faith carry you down the sunset trail to the very end, with joy in your spirit?  Yes, it is possible. 
With Christ as your guide, you and I will come to the end of life with pride behind us, love around us, and hope ahead of us.  That is bowing out gracefully.

I really love that, Liz, and I certainly do long for the day when "pride is behind, love around, & hope ahead!"

Thanks Colin, Judy, Jane and Janet for the encouragement. I have  spent many years fighting with the old devil  and the spirit of depression I do a pretty good job most of the time staying upbeat in my posts and keeping busy with my life. But sometimes I get way down and  just have to  let my feeling be known to others. It helps to have others  to talk to about such things. I don't tell this stuff to my family, well to Gilbert, he is the only one I am that close to.

Janet I made that card myself I have been in a stationery group for over a year now, making pretty stationery's using PSP and HTML Kit.

I won't be going back to work until Tuesday, so nice to have a few days off even if they will be busy days.

Hi everyone.  It is good to read all the postings.  Not feeling very good tonight so just going to check in to say I was here and read all the postings.  I will try to write a few more lines tomorrow.

Colin, I have noticed through the years, that the one who is the funniest is often the saddest at heart.  What a paradox that is.  But to be able to make others around you laugh, does that lift your spirits too?  Let us know if there are other ways we can help you feel better.  You have overcome so much in your life, and I admire you for it.  And I thank God with you, for your sweet Marlene. 

JudyB, I have been in the kitchen most of the day, too.  Baked 10 loaves of Friendship Bread, two pie crusts, and made a big dessert and a big Jello salad.  And I am tired.

Curtis met me out on the hill to pick up Abby, then I came back to town, Pat styled my hair for me--YES!!  I feel like a new woman!  Then I filled up the car, picked up more milk at the store, came home and cleaned up my cooking mess.  Whew!  I'm glad I don't have the entire meal to do.

Thanks, Judy, for commenting on my photo.  It feels like it's not worth the time it takes to resize and post them when people do not comment.  So I appreciate it.

For those of you who know my Beth, please say a prayer for her.  When we went in this morning, she was in tears, and said she thought John broke up with her.  Even though we know the relationship won't ever go farther, it has been so good for her to have a "boyfriend" and she is heartbroken.  And it's all over a really stupid thing someone said that offended him.  Beth had nothing to do with it!!    Anyway, please remember her in prayer.

Oh Janet .. I am praying for Beth   I had a call from my daughter (Dot) not so long ago with the same kind of tears -- her new boyfriend broke up with her.  I understand this is nothing like your Beth but it is the same sort of heart ache when you know it's not even anything about the one whose heart is broken.

Gotcha, Marilyn and Colin  I can definitely relate.    

Thanks for praying, Jane.  I just called Beth, and she and John were talking on the computer.  He says he will talk to her if she does not agree with anyone he disagrees with!    Oh, brother. 

I hope you will forgive me, folks, but Pat gave me permission to close up early tonight and go ahead and post the Thoughts for next week, as I will be away from home tomorrow night.  Also, I am having trouble, as my pc has a new tool bar, and I can't sem to copy and paste the headers or the songs.

ETTA SUE or AL----would one of you please put in the header for Christmas, and post the carol While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night, at the end of the Thoughts I have prepared?  Thanks so very much.
