Saturday Night

7:40pm

I've already got the lights off except for one with a very low wattage bulb, the TV is on and I'm sitting here in my pajamas watching the Food Network.  I'm seeing all these contestants making the best looking cookies,  how do they do that?  So much talent.

Bitsy and Buddy are in their crates, down for the night.  Every so often Bitsy will walk over just to check on me.

 She would be in my lap if it weren't for my laptop already there.  It's so peaceful in the house tonight.  Mr D is in his man cave doing his favorite thing which is anything to do with country music.  I'm glad he has that in his life and has shared with me.

I have so much JOY in my heart tonight.  Just thinking of the birth of our Savior so many years ago.

Joy to the World, the Lord is come!

Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare Him room,

And Heaven and nature sing,

And Heaven and nature sing,

And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

The warm glow of Christmas lights warms the house and gives us a feeling of peace.  We have a star shining brightly over the nativity, a beautiful reminder of the reason for the season.

Beautiful Star the hope of rest

For the redeemed, the good and the blessed

Yonder in glory when the crown is won

Jesus is now that star divine

Brighter and brighter He will shine

Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, shine on

I hope everyone is taking time to find the peace and joy that comes this time of year.  Look for it and you will find it.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

 Isaiah 9:6

Until Next Time
