QoD

What’s on your New Years Day menu?

Good Morning!

It’s the last day of the year, so 2 QoD’s. First I’ll ask the obvious question.

Do you have a New Year’s resolution?

And then,

What was the highlight of 2012 for you?

Quote of the Day

I’m waiting for the snow, which is late in arriving.

Quote of the Day

“Faith makes all things possible… love makes all things easy.”

And yes, I still have more Christmas cookies to eat.

🙂

Good Morning!

Who’s up for coffee and Christmas cookies for breakfast?

😯

Me too!

You’d think that I’d be sick of Christmas cookies by now. But no, I’m not.

Quote of the Day, and I wish I’d discovered this fact sooner…

“It is a scientific fact that your body will not absorb cholesterol if you take it  from another person’s plate.”

Good Morning!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas.

So did anyone get anything interesting?

Quote of the Day

“If  the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body  to which the people send one hundred and fifty lawyers, whose trade it is to  question everything, yield nothing, and talk by the hour?”

Wake Up!

It’s CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Yesterday I posted the first part of the story from Luke 2.

Today, we celebrate the rest.

The arrival of THE greatest gift mankind could receive from a loving God.

A savior, Jesus Christ, and through Him, forgiveness. I’ve received no greater gift, and I’m thankful for it.

Luke 2:6-21

⁶ And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

⁷ And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

⁸ And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

⁹ And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

¹⁰ And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

¹¹ For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

¹² And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

¹³ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

¹⁴ Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

¹⁵ And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

¹⁶ And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

¹⁷ And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

¹⁸ And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

¹⁹ But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

²⁰ And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

²¹ And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

Good Morning!

I hope everyone is enjoying themselves.

Good Morning!

3 Days!

And Happy Saturday!

I’d ask what everyone has planned for this weekend, but I think we all know the answer, it being an extended Christmas weekend and all.

🙂

So here’s a “Question of the Day”.

What’s your favorite Christmas tradition?

Here’s some background music, to help you think.

Good Morning!

We’re getting close now.

4 Days!
