CHAPTER 11, PAGE 27

Just this once, Lord,

I want to come to you with no problems,

but simply to say, Thank You:

For your forgiveness when I fail...

For the sheer joy of sleep when I'm terribly tired...

For the remedies for sickness when I am ill...

For the assurance that You have made a place especially for me...

For the joy of helping others when I see people in need...

For the earthly evidences of Your will...

For the fun that refreshes when everything gets too serious...

For the renewal in moments of silence...

For your abiding presence that makes every day

I live a day of thanks.

 

GOOD MORNING !

As you can see I made it through Monday and am up and ready to go once more. I looked through my drawers and closet and managed to find 25 Christmas themed shirts or sweat shirts. So starting yesterday I'll be wearing a different one each day....

You may think it is crazy to have so many seasonal shirts, but over the years they just have acuumulated. Some are snowmen, some are santas, some have bells others have stockings on them. I like to have a little bit of fun in my life, so I'll wear them each day and maybe even cause someone to have a ***BIG SMILE*** when they see my decorated self.

Ho, Ho, Ho !

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

All I Needed to Know About Life I Learned From Santa

Encourage people to believe in you.

Always remember who's naughty and who's nice.

Don't pout.

It's as much fun to give as it is to receive.

Some days it's okay to feel a little chubby.

Make your presents known.

Always ask for a little bit more than what you really want.

Bright red can make anyone look good.

Wear a wide belt and no-one will notice how many pounds you've gained.

If you only show up once a year, everyone will think you're very important.

Whenever you're at a loss for words, say: "HO, HO, HO!"

May the season's simple joys

Warm your heart...

Fill your home...

Last a lifetime

MA
