Ya'll Gotta See This...So Very Touching.

 Oh my goodness, this really touched my heart this morning...

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

The mannerism of the precious man in the video reminds me very much of my step-Daddy, Al.  Al was a sweetheart.

(I miss you Al)

.

Janie, Al and little Joycie back when.  They planted this tree together when we moved into our new-to-us little house back then.


Al would leave us suddenly in the next year or so...The hardest thing in my life.


This morning...

.

A female cardinal outside our window...The moss was gently blowing in the wind.

.

A male cardinal outside another window...  We have cup and saucer feeders I made hanging on various trees, the birds just love them.   I have many little bird pets, God's precious creatures, they are free and happy outside. 

 

 

Drinking my coffee plodding along in our home enjoying the early morning light coming in...

 

Now listening to:   Michael W. Smith   Christmastime 

 

I hope everyone will have a sweet, safe and loving Christmas, with peace, hope and joy.

 

Today I will be finishing up wrapping a couple of gifts, maybe baking, maybe either cooking a pasta dinner or going out for mexican food with Jem.    We shall see what we shall see.


Merry Christmas Everyone!     Psalms 91.   Psalms 37.

May we ponder the greatest Gift on that silent, holy night.... Jesus. 


We would be better Christians if we spent more time alone, and we would actually accomplish more if we attempted less and spent more time in isolation and quiet waiting upon God....

Opening excerpt from my Streams in the Desert devotional this morning.

Isn’t that video precious?! And a good lesson in it, too. I also miss Al, he was such a precious man that made a gigantic impact in our lives even though he was with us for a relatively short time.

Love the cardinals and the reminder to be still. My Christmas wasn’t too still, but I’m trying to take this post-Christmas week to be quiet and still. It is hard when you’re coming off a mad dash to screech to a stop.

Beautiful. Thank you for the helpful and sweet thoughts in today's blog post.

Amelia said...

Marianna, Yes. That video was soooooooo precious, I loved everything about it. Al is missed very much. I just have to shake my head at times when I think of what happened.

Yes, quietness is so important, that is when we hear the voice of God many times...The Christmas holidays are nice but a bit overstimulating with the commercialism of it.

Amelia said...

Barbara, Thank you for your encouragement sweet friend. You've been in my thoughts and prayers.
