:prayer-hands: For your mom’s salvation. I have so many Christmas decorations and they don’t want us to store anything in our attics ... plus I have no garage ... so I unpacked all the plastic containers they were in and I keep them up year round on display in the basement ... the “Farmhouse Christmas” theme. Its one open room ... no divider walls so the fake tree is hiding the furnace and I attached 2 tall wooden shutters painted them hunter green and attached red bells and that hides the water heater. :mdrmdr: Its always a cheery place when I go down there to do laundry. I did place two ivy/red berry wreaths on the front and back doors and candy cane decorations on the front porch. Only took 5 minutes. I normally put candle lights in each of the windows but I just haven’t gotten around to setting them up this year. I got 1 Christmas cactus that bloomed pink flowers but the other plant should be displaying white flowers ... still has no buds. I reckon its in a fickle mood and refuses to bloom for joy. :scratch: Still have high hopes for a December rapture. :popcorn Thanks Geri7 !!! I’m sorry to hear about your mom, Leaving Soon! Prayers that she accepts Jesus before passing away from this world and strength and wisdom for you. Come on, AmyVG! Where’s your sense of adventure!?! :yes: :prayer-hands: for your mother, Leaving Soon. :prayer-hands: for you too. Holy Spirit is able to go places that we cannot, and convict people, making them aware of their need for Jesus even when we are not present. Even when we have tried in the past. God hears you so continue trusting Him and :prayer-hands: Merry Christmas Leaving Soon, Jesus has come and He will come again Yes Leaving Soon, you and your family are in our hearts! Praying He will be in hers and your father's! The Christmas tradition reminds us of His birth as a gift to mankind. And that He hung on a tree! TR Ominous news coming out daily! Many are convinced that this December is going to be special! Exciting news for those that love Christ! Again, all we can do is wait on the Lord! Hope and pray! May we all be found worthy of Christ! Only by His righteousness! Tree or not, let the lamb's blood be sprinkled upon the lentils of our hearts! The death angel passed over those blood covered lentils! Yet the eyes of the Lord will lift up those that have been dipped in His blood! Certainly, every day becomes a high watch day, Given the days we live in! TR Father, please remove the scales from Leaving Soon’s mom, open her heart to your grace, surround her with your word and draw her to you .... let her see past her decreasing health to see her need of your blessed salvation gift. grant peace to this family and we thank you for your soon calling home of the Bride, in Jesus name and for His glory! Indeed the last Christmas on this side of glory! Thank you Lord! What better Christmas present than a trumpet blast! Again, who will hear it aside from those that will be caught up?! Will the church of Laodecia here it! Will the world? May the Lord's mercies abound! TR And who can forget that great holiday classic?! Grandma got run over by a reindeer! TR
My mom, who lives with me, stated “I’m not feeling Christmas this year” ... in my spirit I wanted to begin the celebration of this LAST Christmas here on earth ... got my tree today and will be decorating all week! What a witness to those who enter my home once we fly up :flyup: and it brings joy to my spirit to remember the day we celebrate the birth of our Savior. I have always loved this time of the year, it is our last one, my soul knows this very well. My two cents :bye: :prayer-hands:
