"A Blanket For The Cold Angel"

Today December 16,2015 large piles of snow are on all the parking lots of Perryton, Texas. The temperature remains cold.


When it snows in Perryton, Texas it stays with us for a long time, becoming an, “overstay welcome.” Of course the moisture is always welcome, but the sight of dirty snow piles is unbecoming. At least it keeps us reminded that Christmas is just around the corner. I often think how nice it would have been if I could have taken an extra blanket out to the cattle stable where Jesus was born, and wrapped it around His blessed Mother. No doubt she had taken off any clothing she could possible spare and covered the baby Jesus with it.

Who do we think we are today complaining about not having everything perfect? If we have a warm place to live, food to eat, and love in our hearts for everybody, we should be the happiest people on earth. A few aches and pains, and a few sacrifices of self desires should be counted as nothing compared to what Virgin Mary, and her baby boy went through. Shame on us for grumbling. Love is the key word for happiness. The bible tells us that love covers a multitude of sins, but what about those whom have not sinned much, but are still unloved? What kind of love do you call that? I call it shameful, selfish, jealous, and last, but not least, inspired by Satan, and not God. 

I have had to bend over backwards many times to recapture my love and respect for some whom I had sworn I would never do. I didn’t do this on my own free will. With reluctance I have been thrown into a mode of unforgivingness  without any way out. Its like, what happened? I can’t believe this. I have been made to bend to an evil thing brought against me. Our God is like that if we are living close to Him. He doesn’t ask us to do hard things. He does it for us. The sense of distrust for a person who has wronged us may never leave us completely, but God gives us grace to love that person just the same. We must accept people for what they are, and who they are, without holding grudges against them. God will take care of the problems without our help. I can live with, or without, those who use me for glorifying themselves. Jesus did, so can I. They just cannot take the Holy Spirit out of my life. Its there to stay, thanks to my Lord Jesus Christ. Where He leads me I will follow.

Just as the Virgin Mary could not understand why she was being asked to bear a baby without ever having know a man by having sex, so do I myself wonder why sometimes I am being used as a punching bag for those I love the most. I shared this thought with another mother recently, and was shocked at how much more criticism she was taking than I. Will we ever be able to understand it? Yes we will, and until then may we be strong enough to take our portion of suffering for the sake of Jesus.

God Bless

"Santa Is Back

Santa is back to be our #1 guest for the rest of the month. He turns around looking at everyone while he smokes his pipe. 12-15-2015 Perryton, Texas.



Another beautiful pre Christmas day is blessing us this morning. Santa is sitting in his favorite spot a top our TV. He turns his head while smoking his pipe, and he really does make us feel happy. He will be our #1 guest for the rest of the month. Rick is still not home. He is in Rehab for the next ten days, but Santa will keep me company.

My letter was interrupted for reasons of getting some urgent business taken care off. Christmas is really a busy time even without sickness in the family. I had to meet the mail pick-up time because I had two important packages that had to go off today. Was very surprised to find out how much postage had gone up since I last mailed a package. The postal service is putting them selves out of business fast.

I did some grocery shopping while out on the business tour. I won’t have to do much more before Christmas. I did buy some cards, and a few gifts for those whom I cherish so much. Just a small favor for what they have done for me. The least I can do is wish them all a Merry Christmas. And wait for the time I can do something for them.

There are still mountains of snow piled high upon the parking lots of our shopping centers. The snow plows has piled it high. It will take some time for it all to melt. The temperature is a little above freezing but just barley. The snow mountains are not pretty because they are very dirty, The dirt from under the cars melted off before they plowed the parking lots. Red River, Colorado Ski mountains are lots prettier. I love those memories.

For all my friends over seas who are reading my blogs, I wish you all a Merry Christmas. Some of you may not call it Christmas, but whatever is your custom, may it be a peaceful and happy time. My prayers are always with you whoever you are. I have a good audience from Russia. God Bless all of my Russian friends. They too are going through some of the same problems America is. We all must live by faith, and not by sight. Know all of you that people both far and near are having difficult times, and prayer is the only hope for peace. No matter where you live we all are the same distance from God. He is waiting upon your call. He will not be too busy to answer you. I would suggest that as many family and friends you can be together with in this seasonal holiday, let it happen. Strength comes from many hands holding together to form a mighty fort in the name of Jesus.

When I was without electricity a few days ago, I began to wonder what I would do the next morning without coffee. I had some instant coffee, but no way to heat water. I don’t think I could drink cold, instant coffee even if my head ached off. Then I thought of candle heat. What an impossible way to heat a cup of water. Everything I use daily is operated by electricity. Suddenly I was thinking. What would I do if God was shut off of my life. No doubt I would die, but it would be a hard death. Torture can some times take weeks to kill a person. Let us be assured we cannot live a good life without God.  You cannot substitute Him for anything else. Make sure your connections are up to par and if not, fix them while you may.

God Bless

"A Shout Of Joy"

This beautiful white December morning brings me cheer and good tidings. 12-14-2015 Perryton, Texas.


The sun is shinning bright on the thick blanket of snow in Perryton, Texas this morning. It is so beautiful to look upon. I miss having small children around to start rolling up a big snowman. It is this kind of snow that makes Christmas come alive. After being without electricity for six hours yesterday evening, and last night, this beautiful morning snow, and glow, makes up for it. I will be getting the Christmas decorations out today, after I had said I wasn’t going to decorate this year. 

I just spoke with Rick in his hospital room. His good cheerful attitude has already made my day a good one. He is waiting for a dietitian specialist, and a therapist to complete his stay in the hospital. After being hospitalized for 11 days already, he is anxious to get home. He had a serious intestinal disorder that had been bothering him for several months. Hopefully that has all been corrected this time. My praise for the good doctors, and nurses, at North West Texas Hospital, is strong. Not forgetting that our greatest healer was Jesus Christ. How thankful we are for everyone who remembered to hold us up in prayer. Rick’s words to me this morning was to let everyone know how well he is doing.

My church friends brought me a big box of goodies. So many home-made candies, cookies, cheese rolls, fruit, and much more good stuff. I certainly appreciated that since I had not felt like even going to the store for so long. What a great church family I am blessed with. I have missed a lot of church services, and the many Christmas activities I have always enjoyed at this time of year, but my spirit is always in the church. Next Christmas I will be in full swing again.

Nothing could be more interesting than to sit here at my computer looking out the window and watching large icicles drop off the trees. The bright sun is releasing them fastly. Yesterday the trees were solid ice with long icicles hanging down from them. This Christmas is a real picture of what I remember it being while I was growing up. The old Christmas carol “I Am Dreaming Of A White Christmas” stands out in my mind. We will miss our husband, father, and grandfather who left us three years ago, right after Christmas, but he still appears in our dreams. Somehow he still sits in the big recliner, making everyone laugh. I visited with him last night for a long time. It was so real, and I am glad God lets me do that quite often. Time goes by fast, and soon we all will have been transported to our eternal home never to have another hard time, nor shed any more tears.

Merry Christmas to all and God Bless.
