Wow. <br />I was thinking earlier about the little signs that say "Jesus is the Reason for the Season" and how we take that to mean things like...make sure you display a big Nativity scene or something when maybe it might mean to sacrifice in some way...an act of love.

I don't want to get lost in the hustle and bustle around me. And I certainly don't want to 'lose' those dear to my heart because of it. Thank you for these words. I'm off to fix a cup of early morning tea - and spend a bit of quiet time gathering my thoughts before the day gets away and the week rushes in on me. ~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-42106202275640480392009-11-23T08:30:12.608-05:002009-11-23T08:30:12.608-05:00Amen!

It's those times when we sat and laughed, playing games together...or just being all spread out over the living room and feeling contentment..or watching a ball game on tv together and every one getting so excited...It has ALWAYS been the TIME we've spent together that everyone remembers.....bjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432398383127199206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-72844385673770090372009-11-22T19:48:38.875-05:002009-11-22T19:48:38.875-05:00hmmm...

I think I'll get creative and link up this tuesday. Ooooooh, Kathleen, that little wreath is just adorable, sugar! If I could have wreaths all over my house I would, but just not enough wall space in this small house for this chick.<br /><br />Now, the holiday season???? I truly just focus on the Savior and read the Christmas story to keep me in the mood.<br /><br />Love Bunny and I have given up on gifts except for the 3 youngest grandsons and just get them Jack in the Box cards and that's <b>IT</b>, sweetpea! Sooooo much less stress and there isn't one thing in this world I need and very few wants that don't involve "roses"! It has taken tremendous stress off of us. You might try that. Just a thought, sugar. ;-)<br /><br />xoxo,<br />ConnieConniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07836857167023454619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-69223760592945842852009-11-22T16:46:16.060-05:002009-11-22T16:46:16.060-05:00Kathleen Grace!!!
