Each day I add another
decoration. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and I'm
beginning to feel like a child again. I just hope no one buys me a
Barbie doll for Christmas. However, my son told me he was expecting a
great big present this year. I told him to tell Santa and not me. I
think I am going to waste $69.00 plus tax and buy him a gift I saw
today. It is in a great big box with a drone-like instrument inside.
It almost looks scary, and fly's by remote control power. From what I
could see it would fly high, and far with wicked success. The box
said for 8 years and up. My son is 50 so that's up. Please don't tell
him what he might be getting. His two children are both grown and out
of college. He doesn't have any grandchildren so this wicked
destroyer would have to be operated by him alone. The box that this
unlawful, enemy fighter comes in is about 2+4 feet. I think that
could pass for a great big present. We use to always have a lot of
fun at Christmas, but for the past several years it has just been a
time to remember those fun times. Maybe things are going to change. A
little fun, and a lot of seriousness equals permanent happiness. It's
time to say good-bye to all tears.
I enjoyed getting back with friends at the Center today. The new art was hanging so nicely, and a big beautiful tree had been decorated. All the tables were showing a different kind of Christmas atmosphere, and made the heart rejoice. The next entire month will be a fun, and exciting time. Then a new year will deliver to us blessings like we've never had before. Believe it, and you will receive it. Changes will come of course, but all for the good. A lot will have to do with our own attitude. Paul, the Apostle said, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,” I believe that, and I will be trying hard to prove it this new year. Our life must be hid from any praise we might have of ourselves. The bible says “hide thyself behind the cross, and lift up Jesus.” Any other praise is counterfeit. If anyone wants to become less liked than already, just continue to elevate yourself. They will be given an automatic delete. And there is no way they can deny it, because your sins will find you out.
As I shopped today in several different stores I saw many smiles as I met people. I don't know who smiled first, and it doesn't matter. Just remember “smile and the world smiles with you.” Thank God for smiles when the heart is broken with pain and grief.” These same people are hiding behind the cross. God sees them when others do not.
God Bless
