                                                               That opens up our eyes

                                                        To the unexpected gifts in life—

                                                             Each day a sweet surprise.





                                                              Mix in fond appreciation

                                                         For the people whom we know;

                                                           Like festive Christmas candles,

                                                        Add some giggles and some laughter,

                                                              A dash of Christmas food,

                                                             (Amazing how a piece of pie

                                                                      Improves our attitude!)





                                                              Stir it all with human kindness;

                                                               Wrap it up in love and peace,

                                                                Decorate with optimism, and

                                                                   Our joy will never cease.

                                                                   To be in the Christmas spirit,

                                                                   Even when it's not December.

Yes, I know it's off center. I believe I am having an off center start to festivities. I pray all of you have a beautiful season of baking, decorating, spending time with loved ones near and far.

As I embark on untangling our Christmas Lights, trying to find extra mini lights galore to replace the aged strands of lights, listening to the music of the season , and planning a joyous season, Let us all take time to remember Christ in all we venture in to.

May the Spirit Of God fill your homes with His Unfailing Love & Wisdom this Christmas Season.

In Christ's Love, FaithAlways

Count Your Blessings



It is as simple as that. Count your blessings and give thanks to Our Lord and Saviour!

Remember those we have lost, our loved ones, those in need who are hurting, ill, or suffering through hard times, and ask God's will in their circumstances. Never forgetful that if there is anything we can do to lighten their load, that we rise to our calling and duty in Christ to help in any way we are able to. This could mean anything from a hug to a home cooked meal served with love.

I have had so many blessings this year to be grateful for. With that being said, some close to me, along with myself, have suffered greatly, and have been rescued by our Loving Father, who never forgot us.

So please as you embark on twinkling lights and the amazement in children's eyes at this year's Christmas season. STOP, and celebrate the warmth of Thanksgiving, giving God all the glory for gifts small or large, happiness, and His forgiveness.

My hope and prayer for all, is that we draw nearer to God as we wake and go through each day. That we discern His will and walk after Him, not rushing before, nor lingering behind. For your health, safety, life to be touched by Him in amazing ways.

God bless each and every one of you!
