I'm Dreaming of A White Christmas......

Oh Wait!  It's NOT a Dream!!!

SNOW on Christmas in Tennessee!  And, not just a few flurries - enough to build a snow man!


Curtis, Lydia and Chloe played in the snow and built a snow man.  I stayed inside and made hot chocolate.  It's rough to stay inside while all the fun is going on - hee, hee hee.  Oh, let's see, I also stayed warm and dry and still got to hear the laughter and watch the fun.  Hmm, the older I get, the more I think I LOVE my part. 



Christmas 2010 was so AWESOME!
The snow was PERFECT for building snowmen and sledding -
AND my children and grandchildren were able to join us - despite the weather conditions.

Thank you God for blessing us with CHRISTmas and for the extra blessing of snow!

SELFLESSNESS

Be SELFLESS - give of your time, your money, your listening ear, etc..... We all have something we can give!  You can baby sit for someone so they can have free time.  You can listen when your child, parent, sibling, friend speaks.  You can volunteer to help - and then DO it!

You might say - Life’s a bone grinding mill. It’s tough, and at the end of the day we go home, lick our wounds, and get back at it the next day. It’s hard to reach outside of ourselves and see others in need. And then to actually do something about it? Almost impossible - but not impossible.

You might say, but "How could it be possible?"   I say - it's possible because I have strength for the journey! And, you can have it too. Just read Isaiah 40:31. It says:

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength... mount up with wings like eagles... run and not be weary... walk and not faint.
 
So - get you some strength and go do something SelfLess!
