Productive day! I have way too much when it comes to decorations for this house. I didn’t even put it all up; I’d have to move out so there was room! But I was able to go through most of the boxes and pick out my favorite and important items and get them situated. I still have the inside lights to put up, and the window stickees and garland. THEN — I will set up and decorate the tree. Chrissy really wants to help with that so I’m going to plan everything around her if I can.
I decided to put up part of my little scene this year — and I put the little Snoopy figurines around the top of my computer desk. One of Kelly’s favorites is the snowman nativity (who happens to be sharing shelf space with Mr. & Mrs. Santa Claus!)
When Kelly was here on Thursday and the girls were here for a while, they asked Kelly to French braid their hair! So here are my two little pigtail gals – from the back!
Steve from Maplewood had a message about Last Things – Talking about the fact that in this coming Christmas Season we should realize that Jesus is King; why he came and what he did for us. And what his ultimate plan was from the moment he was born. He came to intercede for us from the ultimate Judgement, the separation of the saved and unsaved. Our lives touch more people than we can guess or know. We don’t stop to realize what’s going on every minute because life goes so fast. We don’t pay attention to details, and we miss so much! We should do the right thing, all the time; be on guard. Be filled with Christ. Give thanks for the good things and the hard things. God is with us in all circumstances; be thankful for each minute!
On this day in 1520 Ferdinand Magellan began crossing the Pacific ocean, and in 1895 American’s first auto race was held: 6 cars, 55 miles – average 7 mph! In 1932 Groucho Marx made his first radio performance, and in 1984 William Penn and his wife Hannah were made honorary US citizens more than 250 years after their deaths. Washington Irvin died at age 76 in 1859, and Jeffrey Dahmer (34) was clubbed to death in prison by a fellow inmate in 1994. In 1582 William Shakespeare (18) married Anne Hathoway (26). And today is my sister’s very dear friend E.Anne Ketchen’s birthday. Any time she was visiting and we didn’t know what to do with something, we always asked E.Anne to hold it. And she always did! Happy birthday to a wonderful lady and tons of happy memories!
TOMORROW November 29 is:
As my mom would say, have a wonderful Lord’s day tomorrow. Enjoy whatever you do, but continue to give thanks daily! God bless —
