~Merry Blessed Christmas, USM's Angels~.......... Blue~

Good afternoon USM’s Angels

Hoping all are doing very well as we get underway into the Christmas Season

From what I have just read…it saddens me that several of our beloved Angels have lost dear precious family members….....

My heartfelt deepest Sympathy and Condolences go out to those who are grieving the losses. It is never easy…..yet God is close to the brokenhearted……He provides peace and comfort to the hurting, the grieving. As we learn to take each day at a time……we learn something we didn’t know before…and we learn we are given the strength we need to get through the days, one by one…. oftentimes when I look back and with awe, with my own experiences I have come through....I realize where my strength came from….where the provision comes, the peace and the guidance, the comfort…..

He is a Loving heavenly Father an Advocate and a Comforter He is who we need at the time we need it….His holy infallible Word says, He will be our Father, Mother, Sister, Brother….. our truest and best Friend….whatever we have need of….He more than fulfills, Amen! Oh! What an Awesome God we serve! Creator of the Universe….of Heaven and Earth--------

Before bedtime, when I stand outside at night in the cold crisp mountain air…..in the stillness and quiet as I gaze into the midnight blue canvas of Heaven…..my eyes behold His glory….and yet it is but a foretaste of the glory yet to come! This is all but temporal……a stopping off place…..a temporary home to live to learn…..to love……. on our journey to God’s heavenly Home……-----God’s holy City…….

He sent out an express Invitation, on that most holy night so long ago-----When His Son left His Home in Glory......took off His Crown....His robes of royalty and donned the robes of humanity.....offering the greatest Gift of All......a supreme sacrifice......a precious little Lamb of God.... it is there He has prepared a most precious place…….free from all heartache, sadness, despair…..loss… where He is, there is JOY unspeakable …….for all eternity……

When things happen…when we are caught unaware....when we are devastated, at a loss to understand why……..May we trust that God has a Plan…..we might not understand at the time what that plan may be……but, He does……Let Him comfort and strengthen you as only He can…….Trust that it’s going to be alright……. Come what may, He has You Covered, front rear and center…… He has You Protected within His Mighty Wings…….

I have been doing ok…..staying busy as always Hoping to rearrange my cabin in a few months during warmer weather….. Can You believe that Christmas is but 18 days away from today!? I also celebrate the Epiphany, Journey of the Magi as well I’m looking forward to that Christmas dinner, dessert too! It will be only my Mama and I celebrating this year….my brothers are all scattered and my younger brother will be travelling to spend Christmas and the New Year with his daughter.

I keep saying though, One of these days, I would love to have my home filled with lot’s of good friends…..laughing, enjoying good conversation…..and enjoying good food…….. I’ve always loved every thing Christmas…..decorations every where! While I've been enjoying Hallmark's Christmas Movies, though I'm disappointed as I've not seen any of the Classic Christmas movies I've come to love over the years.. :(



I also have been missing the Russian Ballet’s Performance of The Nutcracker….they’ve only scheduled it once since the last time Edward and I went to see it, we both enjoyed it so much, especially the little children’s performance, it was so sweet. I think a light show is scheduled at the Arts center for tonight….but not something I was interested in seeing.

I would enjoy attending a Christmas Play….and other live Nativity scenes….I also enjoy driving around and looking at all of the beautiful lights as I did when I was a child growing up….I don’t ever get tired of seeing all the lovely decorations and hearing Christmas caroling and the Classic Christmas songs, the bells ringing………so beautiful…. It’s been really cold today here in Kentucky…Winter has came early..

Still, it’s been more than a little unusual weather truly. There were funnel clouds spotted a few days ago then late last night we had snow! So strange indeed! Fed my furry and feathered friends early this morning….it was bone-- chilling cold….goodness Brrrr! While sitting here in the warmth of the cabin, I’m so thankful, grateful for Blessings, for The Lord’s Provision…….thankful for the greatest gift of His Love……When Jesus a Babe in a Manger, He came*

I think I will work on putting my Christmas village out tomorrow, string the last set of lights on my back porch, then set up my tree these next few days……

It’s been bothering me because the tree it is heavy….really heavy lol….. but I keep reassuring myself, and think if I can manage to take care of every thing around here, the very heavy feed for my furry and feathered friends along with every thing else, I can manage my Christmas tree.

I wish for all to have a beautiful and blessed Christmas and extra Prayers our New Year will be the best one yet.

Blessings to All!

Be Safe

Continued Prayers and Best Wishes

Keep a rainbow in Your Pocket and a smile in Your heart

Love, Blue~ :/48
