NEVER LOOSE CHRISTMAS

We won't have a Christmas this year, you say

For now the children have all gone away;
And the house is so lonely,so quiet and so bare

We couldn't have a Christmas that they didn't share.
We won't have a Christmas this year, you sigh,

For Christmas means things that money must buy.
Misfortunes and illness have robbed us we fear

Of the things that we'd need to make Christmas this year.
We won't have a Christmas this year, you weep,

For a loved one is gone,and our grief is too deep;
It will be a long time before our hearts heal,

And the spirit of Christmas again we can feel.
But if you lose Christmas when troubles befall,

You never have really had Christmas at all.
For once you have had it, it cannot depart

When you learn that true

Christmas is Christ in your heart.

I wrapped a few presents this morning..
(the first and only that I had wrapped)
But then we left to go to Mom's..
Oh "GOD BLESS" , she was in a sad shape
when we got there..
She grabbed me and said, "honey, these crazy people
own this house, they OWN THIS HOUSE...
TAKE ME HOME WITH YOU, PLEASE,
PATTY PLEASE!" (*.*)
Father, please help her, give her comfort,
and inner peace, help her mind to be clear,
and her pains be few.. Thank You in Jesus name.
Actually her confusion had been coming and going all day..
After a few minutes, she was fine! Jenna and Jim were
fixing supper and she was, (and had been) sitting in
the kitchen with them.. Then it came and went a
few other times (that was more than noticeable)
between the cancer now in her brain also, and the
lack of oxygen to her brain, she gets so confused!
GOD BLESS AND HELP HER PLEASE..
again, as always, when she was back to MOM..
she just said she wants to go 'HOME'
ABOVE ALL LORD, THY WILL BE DONE!

PLEASE FATHER, ALSO BE WITH JENNA, IT IS JUST
SO STRESSFUL AND CONSTANT..
GRANT HER INNER PEACE PLEASE, COMFORT AND
SOME MUCH NEEDED REST! THANK YOU IN JESUS NAME.
it is so hard to be with Mom like she is, and Jenna is and has
always been doing such a wonderful job..
THANK YOU GOD FOR JENNA AND HER WILLINGNESS!

Well, when we came home tonight, we came with Nathan and Abigail..
Abigail had stayed night before last, Nathan last night, and both
are staying tonight.. they are just sharing their Christmas break with us,
and we are thankful for them, as well as all of our grandchildren..
Anyway, I got all the gifts wrapped (that we have, and we are done,
but it sure don't look like much) "we love giving"
Then I decided to do this blog.. SORRY if I bore you
with all these crazy details.. but some are interested..
Anyway, the kids have had a good time, they have just laughed
and played on the PS2 and on the computer..
(that is what they were doing while I was wrapping gifts)
I still have one to wrap, for Abigail "IF I CAN FIND IT!!!"
DEAR GOD, HELP ME, (some times when I pray about
something, when I wake up the next morning, I know where to look)
AND I AM SOOOO GRATEFUL.
