Cherished Blessings

Cherished Blessings

Journaling reads:   Every other year we spend Thanksgiving with my daughter, Jessica, and her family in Ohio.  The other years we spend with Mark's daughter, Jenifer.  Usually my daughter, Elisabeth, and her family are spending the week with Brad's family in WV, but they come on Friday to share another Thanksgiving meal with Jessica.  Nathanael was also able to join us but Addy stayed home with her mom.  Michael not able to come.

Tim’s dad and stepmom and the grandchildren (Michael is missing) and great grands (Kara and Addy are missing).  Chuck is 93 and Reba is 88.

I blended one of the messy papers into a black paper to get the gray paper.  I love this template of hers!  It's hard to tell, but the 2 white brushes in the corners are dogs playing with a ball.

Buddy, the Elf and 12 Days of December Day 11

 

I’ve been having so much fun spreading cheer and making general mayhem on the Oscraps board. Are you participating in our 12 Days of December this year? If you’re not, I might have to give you a “naughty report” when I get back to The North Pole. You wouldn’t like that, would you???

Here’s a link to the Challenges and Games – the challenges will be going on until December 31st, but the games will be ending on December 13th – both at midnight PST. 

Well, my lovelies I still have lots of work to do. You know, an elf’s work is never done.

A few Miscellaneous Pages

Angels We Have Heard on High

Lyrics:
1. Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
Refrain:
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
2. Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavn'ly song? [Refrain]
3. Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing.
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King. [Refrain]
4. See him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise.
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we raise. [Refrain]

Let it Snow

Journaling reads:  We woke up to about 1/2” of snow and low 20’s today!  Then the sun came out and even though it never got very warm, the snow melted quickly in all of the areas that were not in the shadows.  12/3/24

Kindness and Grace

Choice

Journaling reads:  And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

The Lord protects the foreigners among us.  He cares for the orphans and widows, but He frustrates the plans of the wicked.  Psalm 146:9  11/16/24

Persevere

“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in Me.  Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows.  But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”  John 16:33  11/18/24

Perseverance “will take us into an intimacy with God we often don’t search out when life is smooth sailing.  We often see God the clearest when we are at our most desperate, when all of the meaningless distractions of ordinary life are suddenly stripped away.  When life is hardest, press into God.  He will stand alongside you in the middle of the storm, even if He doesn’t stop it (the storm). ~Julie Fisk, One Good Word a Day

Hospitality

Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay.  1 Peter 4:9  11/19/24

“Hospitality is defined not only as inviting in friends, but also strangers….to be willing to open our homes and our lives to those around us.  Lord, give each one of us a heart’s desire to be hospitable toward those we come in contact with, inviting them into our spaces cheerfully and sharing Your love with them.  Amen”. ~Kendra Roehl, One Good Word a Day

Behold

And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.  For this comes from the Lord Who is the Spirit.  2 Corinthians 3:18  11/20/24

“As God’s children, we have the ability to see Him face-to-face.  The word “behold” is used in the Bible to draw the reader’s attention (“Look!”).  But in 2 Corinthians 3:18, the Greek word for behold, katoptrizo, means to reflect as a mirror.  When an infant looks at its caregiver, it finds its identity in that gaze.  Similarly, when we behold Jesus, we find ourselves reflected - with love - in His gaze.  As we behold God’s glory, we are able to reflect Him more and more.  And when we do, we become more like Him, able to extend that same grace and love to others.”  ~Kristin Demery, One Good Word a Day

Taste

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.  James 1:17  11/21/24

“When we see something breathtakingly beautiful, when a food explodes in delightful flavors across our tongues, when we snuggle into an extra warm blanket on a cool evening, when we hear something that makes our souls sing, we categorize it as a little taste of heaven.  Our declarations are an expression of gratitude, a simple acknowledgment that all good things are gifts from God, regardless of whether they are actually in heaven or not.”  ~Julie Fisk, One Good Word a Day

Yet

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.  Habakkuk 3:17-18  11/22/24

“How do I hold on to hope in all of the unknowns of life?  All of the unanswered prayers?…I believe the answer lies in our “yet.”  Yet will I rejoice.  Yet will I remember God is my Savior.  Yet will I have hope.”  ~Kendra Roehl, One Good Word a Day

Time

He has made everything beautiful in His time. He has also given people a sense of who He is. But they can’t completely understand what God has done from beginning to end.  Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIRV) 11/23/24

Audacious

In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of Him.  Ephesians 3:12  11/24/24
