christmas

  • yes, i’m dreaming of a wintery white and blue christmas . . .

    finally we move from the fall to winter …

    it’s a brisk 30* and we are expecting a bit of snow,

    well, at least according to the weather man, that is,

    but as we all know, they don’t know it all! lol!

    i’m hoping they’re right this time, though … really right!!

    now …

    please pardon the mess as i change it up a bit around here.

    i have fun doing this and not sure just exactly what I’ll end up with …

    it’s been awhile since i really worked on a new theme!

    i do have to say, though,

    it’s a perfect wintery afternoon to sit here with a

    hot cup of cocoa and ‘blog storm’!

    sadly, i lost a lot of graphics when my old pc quit on me,

    but i’m happy to see that many of them are still here in my photo section from the past!

    now, as for a new theme …

    it’s christmas time and i love a ‘white’ christmas with a touch of blue ….

    so, let’s see what i can do! :)

    i have yet to upgrade to the ‘newer’ xanga pages,

    but i am using the new ‘editor

    and i can’t seem to get the  background color to change here for my post. :(

    maybe i’ll check into the ‘newer’ ones to see how difficult they are to work with.

    well, i best get started!

    hope you’re all having a wonderful day in Him!

     

    blessings to you,
    deborah <><

    p.s. wonder of wonders …
    figured out out to get color on my background!
    just changed back to the ‘old editor’,
    and yay, it’s now wintery white!!

  • MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!

    Merry CHRISTmas to you all!  Praying you are having a most blessed Christmas week!  It doesn’t look much like
    the season around here, and, I know it’s been awhile, but my goal is to get back here much more often, after the
    first of the year!  I do hope this finds you all well!  We’ve had a busy season, which is slowing up a bit, now. 
    We were looking forward to Ian coming home on the 27th, but his work load increased,
    and he is unable to make it at that time.  We were looking forward to having him here for a week.
    We’re hoping for mid-January, but even that looks doubtful. 
    So, for now, we will enjoy spending time with both sides of our family, here, for the holidays.

    This morning, Christmas, we’re going to cook up a nice breakfast for the two of us …
    french toast sounds nice … then, we’ll get ready to go to my brother’s family for dinner this afternoon. 
    I haven’t seen some of their family for over a year, so I’m looking forward to that! 
    Even baked up a ton of pumpkin bread to share with them all, like I did in years past! 
    Tomorrow, Saturday, we will be picking up a last minute gift for our Christmas exchange and dinner,
    on Sunday after church, at my sister-in-laws, with Mom Betty and O.P. …
    we’re all so very happy to have them both with us for another Christmas! 

    Our weekend is full, and we are truly blessed, as I hope you are, as well!  I pray you all have a wonderful and most
    blessed Christmas day!  Here is a video I stumbled upon tonight looking for Christmas music …
    I have never heard this song before, but it deeply touched my heart … I wanted to share it with you! 
    First, please scroll to the bottom of this page and pause the music on my playlist …
    this song in the video, is so meaningful!  This baby changed everything!!

     Merry Christmas, my friends!

quote and verse

Faith expects from God what is beyond all expectation.
- Andrew Murray -

God often comes to us,
not in dramatic and the spectacular,
but in quiet, unexpected ways ...
In a still, small voice,
a gentle whisper,
God makes known His love.

In quietness and trust
is your strength.
Isaiah 30:15

Pleasure, possessions, power, and privilege are ultimately worthless in comparison to the indescribable
joy of knowing GOD!!

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5,6

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will guide thee with mine eye.
Psalm 32:8
