"Christmas Thoughts With Happy Endings"

Angela telling Dobie how sorry she was to have to leave her at the Kennel for 36 hours. Dobie came home all out of sorts. 11-30-2017 Perryton, TX.


My son and daughter-in-law had to take their little Chihuahua dog, Dobie, to the Kennel when they came to get me for Thanksgiving. Given the fact they traveled to Lubbock and spent the day watching TCU and Texas Tech play the game no one wanted to miss. They came on to Perryton, and spent the night with me before leaving the next day for home. Dobie had to spend 48 hours in the kennel. She was a little up set when she got home. We all had to tell her how sorry we were to have to leave her. I stayed a week at my son’s house, and Dobie was doing mush better when I left to come home. I just had to post a picture of her while she was receiving sympathy from her best friend, Angela. Dobie was served a nice warm helping of turkey, but she was not feeling her best to enjoy it like she normally would. She had plenty of left-over’s  put in the fridge for when she gets back to normal.

The temperature has dropped today to 46 degree and some wind. I will be staying inside, and fighting the urge to eat. I have now lost three of the five pounds I gained through Thanksgiving. I am having trouble refusing to make the traditional, delicious, fruit cake that puts 10 pounds on me every Christmas. I love it to the moon and back. I will just have to eat the fruit in a salad form without the dough. I have also given up the assorted candy goodies, and all other rich, delicious foods I make every Christmas. I just won’t trade my new wardrobe for good foods. I have learned how to substitute those high carb foods with low carb that are also delicious. It’s such fun to shuffle my diet from day to day, trying to satisfy my taste while staying within my carb range.

I am still deeply involved in politics. I believe our President’s tax bill is going to pass tonight. I am so excited about all the good changes this President has made to happen. No one can defeat him with his policies, because he has been appointed by God. The sooner people realize this the sooner they will be at peace with their souls. One just cannot continue to do bad things, and expect to be blessed by God. They finally have to pay for their sinful debt. God don’t just write it off like the credit card companies do. You owe it, and will always suffer the consequences even though you may get forgiveness from God. So many people ask for forgiveness, but continue the same old sinful life they have lived for so long. God can, and does use the repented sinner many times, but never forget He is the one calling the shots. He knows when we go back on our promises to him. President Trump learned this important fact, and is determined to keep his promises in spite of the opposition he gets daily. He knows God is still calling the shots. Lay it down now before the load gets any heavier.

"My loving Family Shadows"

I wanted to post one more picture of my family taken on Thanksgiving Day 2017. I was trying to get my granddaughter’s picture as she was the photographer taking all the pics, but she turned around and took my picture. It was such a fun time, and I have a lot of pictures with which to remember this special day. I will not let time take these memories away from me.

I met a good friend at the Citizen’s Center today. We had just finished eating and was visiting when a family member came in and told my friend that they had just taken her daughter to the emergency room with a heart attack. A helicopter had been called to air lift her to Amarillo because of the seriousness of her condition. It was totally unexpected, and the mother jumped up to rush to the hospital. When I left the Center, after telling a few people about the emergency, I went by the hospital. The helicopter had not arrived yet, and I still don’t know what the outcome will be. Ironically the wife of one of my friends employees had fallen and broken her neck, so both patients were being air lifter to Amarillo. The electric company that my friend owns with her two sons and daughter will have to be closed for awhile. How quickly, and seriously, some things happen sometimes.

We all live each day not knowing if we will live through the day. I have had several friends this past year who have died within hours of being attacked by something they had no idea was brewing in their life. Most of them were several years younger than I. I am thankful for every day that I live, and enjoy myself, knowing it is a blessing indeed. Job 8:9, says, For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow. That sounds to me like our bodies are just a shadow, and not a real human being. For that reason we know nothing about our next breath. I pray I will never have to suffer like Job did, but who knows, our lives are like a shadow here on earth. Job was a very righteous man, yet God let the demon attack him to prove his faith in God would never cease. Job chose to die because of his suffering, but because he was a shadow, he could not die. I doubt that anyone can explain this book of the bible, but many have tried. If I ever get to the place I want to die, but can’t I will think of Job, and his perseverance. God had a reason for Job’s suffering, just like He had a reason for His Son’s suffering. Let us accept that fact without any question. Let us be strong in our suffering, knowing that those before us were strong, and never gave up. I have used this reason for taking pain without complaining to others if it is a necessary cause.

"A Part Of God's Family"

My son, Kent, myself, Jean, my daughter, Rhonda, taken on Thanksgiving Day, 2017. A happy time together. 11-28-2017 Perryton, TX


I am still missing my family after such a wonderful Thanksgiving get-to-together. My children, and grandchildren are my most cherished assets. My thoughts are mainly upon making them more happy, as if that were possible. I must say they all have a happy, and blessed life, but good can always be better, I believe. I want to see them excess in the jobs they are doing, and are happily, contented with. I think they all deserve even more than they now control. I lift them up in prayer every day, asking God to make them shouting angels to His band. This world is not our home, we are just passing through. I might add, none of us are looking forward to leaving our earthly homes, but we know Heaven is the destination. I can barely stay put, because I want to dance, dance, dance. “The joy of the Lord is my salvation.” He is my Sheppard and, “ I shall not want.” Give me earthly tools, I will build you an earthly house. Give me a Holy Bible, and I will build you a Heavenly Mansion. Reach out today, take someone’s hand, and let your blessings be felt by them. The Spirit of God is waiting to be invited into each and every heart. No one could be more honored than to receive an invitation like that. Wipe that smirk from off your face, and replace it with a big smile. Start counting your blessings as they start to mount up. You must remember to count.

Yesterday, after being home three days from a week’s vacation, I still had a few good fresh tomatoes that hadn’t spoiled while I was gone. I chopped them up, added green bell peppers, onions, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt, lime juice, and made the best salsa I ever tasted. I had a quart and a pint. Chuck, and I have already eaten the pint. I had not made salsa before, and I am excited on how well it turned out. I didn’t use a recipe. I just tried to remember what I had seen in salsa when someone else had made it. I guessed at the measurements, and I think my guess was better than the previous measurements. I used some of the salsa on some shredded lettuce instead of salad dressing. It made for a perfect mixture of other salad ingredients, and the liquid made the perfect dressing. That same salad is on my lunch menu today along with left-over baked chicken, a spoonful of dressing, and a spoonful of white beans. The pounds have already started coming off. That makes me happy also. The five pounds I gained over Thanksgiving caused me to miss a step or two with my dancing. I could not allow that to continue.

The temperature is warming up, and I will be going out and finish cleaning up the old dead flowers in the flower garden. I did get the asparagus cut back, and covered for the winter freezing. I am almost through with the yard work till next spring. I hope it comes soon. I will now start planning for Christmas. Another holiday I love. I plan to shout all the way through the season. Merry Christmas to all.

God Bless
