Thankful Thursday

Thursday, December 20 2018Luke 1:30-3130 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have 
found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, 
and you are to call him Jesus. 

Today I am thankful for:
My salvation
The Christmas season (not the commercialized version) but the 
birth of our Savior.
Heat to warm our home
groceries in the cupboard
friends helping in time of need
getting Christmas cards in the mail (snail mail)

Please pray for
My family and I had a falling out, I do not disagree, however they 
are my blood family and love them whole heatedly.
That Gator and I will find a place to move too!
without complications
WE can find help to help us move

Merry Christmas to all and be safe if you travel!

The week before Christmas

 

6 days until Christmas.  Where all around the world we celebrate Christmas.

Jesus is the reason for the season, without Christ there would be no CHRISTMAS

Christmas has became too commercialized, it is not about  Who gets the newest electronics, who
gets the most presents, or who spent the most money.  What happened to Christmas day being
celebrating with Family, going to Church services, celebrating Christ' birthday?

This year Gator and I will NOT get even one present, because my brother and his wife
are controlling my mom to the point she is making us move,  we have to be out on the 27th
NICE CHRISTMAS PRESENT?  were not fretting.  WE may end up living in our vehicle
as emergency housing even has a waiting list.   Our vehicle broke down last week 100 miles
from, home as we went to see one of Gator family members who was very sick.

we hopefully will be going Friday to get it.    WE are trusting in the Lord with all of our heart that
he continues to take care of us during this trying time

Happy Tuesday

Just a note to let everybody know I am still alive and kickin,   just been a lot going on in life.

I will be back to blogging SHORTLY   hopefully next week  please bare with me through this
time in my life.

Thank you

Veterans Day

This song speaks very loud


















Today I am very thankful for all the Veterans past, present and our future veterans
it really saddens me that we only recognize them on 2 different days

Myself, I always thank a veteran no matter where I am at just to let him/her know they are appreciated all of the time not just 2 days of the year.  The joy on their face(s) says
everything I need to know!  they appreciate being told 
"thank you for your service"  I have received many handshakes, hugs, nods, and even a Thank you for taking the time to thank a Vet.  I feel like it is my duty to say thank you.!   

I come from many generations of service men  from WWI to present day each and everyone of them I owe nothing but
gratitude to




     I have always loved this



  MY daddy in Korea 1953




     My daddys flag 82115 RIP
