DeleteThank you, Martha Jane. Merry Christmas to you and all your family. You are such a blessing. Hope your husband is doing well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Henny, for your sweet wishes about Danny's health. Yes, his last ablation of the heart using state of the are tech that the FDA has yet to approve seems to have done the trick. We are grateful beyond measure! Have a Merry Christmas!
DeleteHi, it’s that special time of year that being Christmas time and I am sending this email to wish you a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHowever, you spend the day, be it with family or friends or home alone just chilling with your pet and the TV as long as you are happy and feel loved, appreciated and not to stressed.
Remember to think of yourself and not just others it is far too easy for some of us to forget about our own wellbeing and our state of mind. Stressing over a meal or if you bought someone the right gift, isn’t important, if something goes wrong just laugh it off.
When it comes to giving gifts, it isn’t about the cost or the amount of gifts, if someone feels they are being hard done by it is their problem not yours.
Lastly, I wish you quiet moments with those you care about and a safe and happy time.

Thank you, Jo-Anne, for reminding all of us that Christmas is different and special in whatever situations we may find ourselves. Yes, I have been blessed by quiet moments in the preparations and will be blessed by the noise and confusion once the family descends. I couldn't ask for anything more joyful! God bless you and yours!
DeleteWhat a cute snow globe and sweet wishes!! I wish you and yours the same, Martha! Enjoy it all! xo
ReplyDeleteI do love how Danny "rigged" the photo, too, Terri. Rest assured that we will enjoy every moment of the Christmas season!
DeleteWhat a beautiful image of y'all! Merry blessed Christmas!

Thank you! I hope yours was a wonderful one, too!
DeleteThat's an awesome picture of you and Danny in the snow globe. Merry Christmas to you and a blessed New Year ahead! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debra! Danny is really enjoying making the most of AI in a good way. I'm still skeptical of the good this kind of modernization will eventually do, but I'll trust in the Lord for His wisdom. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, too!
DeleteJoining the rest of your adoring fans in wishing you and Danny and the rest of the family a most loving and joyful Christmas celebration. It's wonderful to have relationships that illustrate what our loving Father had in mind when He called us to unity and to celebrate together the One who made it all possible. Merry Christmas to you and Danny, dear sister. Diane and I look forward to continuing the journey with you as we begin a new year.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ron, for your thoughtful words here. Jesus does call us to unity under the umbrella that God holds over our heads should we choose to seek cover in Him. I pray we will all know His presence in our lives each and every day, not contained by the day we call Christmas. Blessings always!
DeleteHope your Christmas was especially bright. Enjoy your break. See you in the New Year.
ReplyDeleteLove, Hugs and Blessings full of joy.
I truly was and is now, Jim, as our children and grandchildren are here. May all your holidays be merry and bright!
