S
omehow, not only for Christmas,But all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others,
Is the joy that comes back to you.
And the more you spend in blessing,
The poor and lonely and sad,
The more of your heart's possessing,
Returns to you glad.
John Greenleaf Whittier
Good Morning !
We did get some snow yesterday as you saw in the pictures above. The good thing about the day was that I came home and my nextdoor sister had the driveway all clear for me to drive right in.
She has a nice little snowblower that just blows the snow right off, much better than shoveling ! I was cold and tired and that just made my day !
My Christmas cards are finally done and now I can move on to bigger and better things in my Christmas preparations. By this weekend I’ll have my little ornaments done that I’m painting for the Grand ‘babes’ and then I’ll finish decorating. We have some wreaths and bows that we hang up out side and I need to get those put up.
One thing that I’ve procrastinated over is getting my recipes entered into the cookbook program I have , so that I can put a cookbook together for all my children. I’m only about half way done and will certainly need more ink for my printer in order to finish. So that will be the thing I work on next week.
Thank the dear Lord that it is Friday ! I’m so glad because there is certainly a lot to do at home!
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
A Christmas candle is a lovely thing;
It makes no noise at all,
But softly gives itself away;
While quite unselfish,
it grows small.
Eva K. Logue
May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !
Peace, dear friends,
Christmas love without end.

Nice and sunny here on my part of the East Coast of England.I hope your babes love the ornaments.Take Care God Bless
