I have Christmas in my heart all year...don't mean to be smart about it,
but there is an underlying joy about Jesus that sticks with me a lot...
now family memories are sometimes sad...we have lost many folks
and some relationships are presently broken.
So I am thankful and try to enjoy what and who we have even more.
My mother died at Christmas time...
her memory used to be very painful then, but it has eased
and I look forward to seeing her again.
What I miss is the weather...
the foggy wet weather we had in the San Joaquin Valley (central Ca),
dry, sunny weather in So Ca is depressing to me.
When my music begins to play Christmas songs I love it...
my favorite site is here...HOME : Redeemer Broadcasting | Redeemer Broadcasting, Inc.
Yup!
change 'happens'
We can however 'choose' to wallow in the 'past' or, to get on with, 'today'
How boring would life be.... if, every day, was full of yesterday's 'news'
Thank God for every sunrise, and every minute that isn't 'marked-with'
pain and suffering and _disappointment with ourselves
I NEVER again, want-to see another anti-depressant pill, become necessary in my lfe
God means us to be happy with His abundant blessings... and we CAN be!!!
It is another something or, other, that, with evil-intent
will 'bring us down' into darkness and perpetual shadows...IF WE LET IT ?
Regrets... I have had a few [~many] but I have 'managed' to discard them all..... such
that I no-longer have space in my life for them
You cannot be happy with those things you have
UNTIL, you put down, all those things you cannot have
ie: those 'earthly possessions' you have lost and will NEVER have again
Real Family...you can NEVER LOSE... not even, while parted
Whinging and whining, about what we don't and can never have...
doesn't make that sadness go away... Surrender DOES!!!
And, since that night in the garden shed [Bristol]
my 'days' have ever been brighter, more-relaxed/ peaceful and blessed
and progressively FREE, from pain and discomfort
GIVE UP! selfish wonting
and you then LEAVE-SPACE for
His Loving Grace and abundant blessings
