I was in awe yesterday when I noticed this large, bright sun not far from going down for the day. It was so bright I had to hopefully get it focused in my camera lens, without looking up. It turned out ok, and I wanted to share it today. I was blinded for several minutes even though I didn’t look straight at it. What was the message this bright sun was relaying to me? My first thought was I’m having a bright Christmas. I had already been made aware of this, and was so excited about all the blessings I had already received. Sometimes we’re given much more than we deserve, and it makes us wonder why. I could say, “thank you” a thousand times, and it wouldn’t be enough. I ask God’s blessing to all who have been so nice to me this Christmas. I believe you all will be re-paid for your loving kindness. Every time I see a bright sun like this one, seemingly so close to earth, I think about this song. “Anyone can sing when the sun is shinning bright, but you need a song in your heart at night.” I can say I do have a song in my heart every night, even when I am troubled about something. Sometimes a song comes to me that I haven’t though of for many years. I sing it until I go to sleep. I forget to listen for would-be robbers. I believe God wants it that way.
I’m looking forward to our Christmas party at the Center tomorrow. It is called ugly Christmas sweater day, and I don’t have an ugly sweater. I’m racking my brain thinking what I can do to make one of mine look ugly. I know my brain will kick in before tomorrow. This sounds to me like a lot of senior people living their second childhood. I love them everyone. They are worth their weight in gold. So thankful to be one of them.
I already have planned my celebration for New Year. I will again be meeting my two sisters from Oklahoma City, at Clinton Oklahoma. A friend whom lives there will join us and another friend from another town, We will all have New Year’s lunch together. We will be staying two nights, and be thrilled with some of the exciting entertainment provided at the Casino there. We did this last New Year’s, and it was so much fun we decided to do it again. We all have our black-eyed peas, and cornbread at mid-night on New Year’s eve. We never get too old to have good clean fun. My worse fear is staying neutral until the time gets here. I can’t stayed parked for long. But I can’t afford to use up all my gas before the New Year arrives. If the weather permits I will do a lot of leaf raking between now and then. Then I will feel more like enjoying myself at New Year’s.
God Bless
