A CHRISTMAS PRAYER
Dear Lord,
Help me to have the compassion to share with others instead of always seeking more for myself.
Help me to understand the needs of those around me and the ways that I can fulfill your purpose in filling some of those needs.
Most importantly, Lord, at Christmas time, and every day throughout the year, help me to show to others a little of the awesome love that You have showered upon me.
Let me show by example the truth that love can never be kept or hoarded.
It can never be hidden or stored away for some future need.
Love can only grow and flourish if it is shared without hesitation, freely, openly and without discrimination.
Lord, thank You for the gift of salvation that You offer to any and all who ask in Your precious name.
Amen
GOOD MORNING !
Prayer is always a good way to start the day. Some days I do feel like I need to pray more than others…today is one of those days.
Today is LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE DAY. You know I always do try to find that BRIGHT SIDE of things. so today I’m claiming this as my special day and I’m going to celebrate it to the fullest. I hope you will join me. I’ve found that no matter how bad things can get, there is always a BRIGHT SIDE somewhere.
It’s also ‘Hi ho, hi ho it’s off to work I go Day'…celebrating the date Snow White and the Seven Drawfs was released. This is another of my favorites…only I’ve changed it a little to be :
‘I owe , I owe, so it’s off to work I go’
Oh well, just thought I’d share those little bits and pieces with you. This is the last day of my work week and now I will have 5 – FIVE – 5 whole days off!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I am not alone at all, I thought. I was never alone at all. And that, of course, is the message of Christmas.
We are never alone. Not when the night is darkest, the wind coldest, the world seemingly most indifferent.
For this is still the time God chooses.

Hope you are having a wonderful Friday....
(I've been in bed most of my vacation day with a stinking cold). Trying to get up now and get a few things done.
I always begin and end each day with a prayer.
Enjoy those days off!! :)
