IT’S OVER
****
For better or worse, the most hectic part of this hectic season is pretty much done.
Take a breath; slow down, relax. Take time to …”breathe in; breathe out”.
Treat yourself to a quiet cup of tea, coffee, cocoa…whatever.
Notice small things…like snowflakes, or your own fingers and toes, and see the wonders of God in them.
***************
Thank GOD! Pray to him by name! Tell everyone you meet what he has done!
…. Live a happy life!
Keep your eyes open for GOD, watch for his works;
be alert for signs of his presence.
Remember the world of wonders he has made…
O seed of Abraham, his servant, O child of Jacob, his chosen.
(from Psalm 105:1-6, the Message)

wonderful images I am able to share with you on my page)

This is a good reminder. I have heard, and believe, that everything God made tells us something about Him.
I’m hoping for better health in the coming year, but it seems I’m ending this year with another, more vicious round of bronchitis, likely the result of working all three shifts within 33 hrs last weekend. Don’t think I’ll volunteer for that again!
Glad you’re back!
Nice message!
Absolutely!! The world could use more ‘Lerts…
Seriously, staying in tune to the Anchor of My Soul gives me a totally different perspective on everything in the world around me.
Beautiful snowflakes and music… Thanks for sharing!!! -Katie Kat ^..^
I love your message!!
Thanks…
A hug,

Good luck with that. Happy new year to you too. Thank you for reading my play
I didn’t really expect anyone to read it, I just put it up anyway. Nice music.
There has been nothing hectic about my season – what a relief.
Thank you for visiting LaeoCafe. God bless you and your family in the coming New Year!
Thanks Jim for responding to that girl. God bless

Thanks for your comment. I saw the Dr yesterday and he gave me Histinex HC and Tessalon Perls. Says it’s a virus and I can go back to work. Silly me, I took 2 tsp of the Histinex without looking to see what was in it. Just wanted the pain and cough to stop. I’m very sensitive to any medications – especially the HC part of that. I think I’ll be okay with the Tessalon and cutting down to 1/2 tsp of the Histinex at a time instead of 1-2 tsp.
Slowly getting there. I do want to go back to work – no use busting my *ahem* working all those doubles, then losing it all being off sick for a week. And I do feel better overall than I did before. It’s just all that goes with that horrendous cough – the burning in the throat, chest, sinuses – well, you know….
Jim,
Thanks for commenting on my site. I appreciate it much. Glad to hear that yet another Child of God has found the importance to “resting” in the Lord. I have taken the liberty to subscribe your site, please feel free to do the same to mine if it interest you. May the Lord bless you in all that you do for Him and in His name.
In the Masters Service,
Phil

<TD bgColor=#cccccc>O Holy Night
O holy night!
The stars are brightly shining.
It is the night
Of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear’d and the soul felt His worth.
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees,
Oh hear the angel voices;
Oh night divine,
Oh night when Christ was born,
Oh night divine, Oh night , Oh night divine.
A HUG,
LUCY
Forgive me…
Anyway…the album is : Josh Groban in concert 2002
O holy night!
The stars are brightly shining.
It is the night
Of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear’d and the soul felt His worth.
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees,
Oh hear the angel voices;
Oh night divine,
Oh night when Christ was born,
Oh night divine, Oh night , Oh night divine.
Chains shall He break
For the slave is our brother,
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy
In grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord, let ever ever praise Thee
Noël, Noël
Oh night, Oh night divine,
Noël, Noël
Oh night, Oh night divine.
Noël, Noël
Oh, Oh night, Oh night divine
Huggggs again…

My goodness…Thank you for the nice compliment. I don’t see it in me, but I suppose that’s just as well
Thanks again. I’m heading back to work today just ’cause the doctor said I could. I think I could use another few days to recover, but it’ll be good for my budget to go back anyway.
beautiful. thank you for that.
You are VERY WELCOME!!!!!
YSIC,
Lucy
Happy New Year to you too, Mr. Smallish! I’m really dreadin’ exams, but I all in all enjoy school. Moreso for the social atmosphere, but I do like to learn, those few times I do. I hope you get things worked out and get in school, if that’s where the Lord’s leadin’ ya and good luck if you do!
Very good words indeed…I am glad for the end of this year and look forward to seeing what God has in store for us in 2006!!
I think I’ll have to stick with seeing Him in the rain drops for most of the time, but well said in any case!
Thanks for visiting my site and for your prayers!!
Blessings

The power that be at my work arnt really happy with the Manager-in-tarining, and the employers are about to stage a coup, or so it feels. I think shes getting her act together
Happy New Year! God bless!
