Bobbiwhit, I hope your eyes have uncrossed by now! lol I haven't seen your handle on here before, have you been doing these puzzles for a while? I've been here for a couple of years or so. I'm here every day and do many puzzles each day. It's such a nice hobby, and keeps me out of SOME trouble!

I do the same thing, dbnc. Right now I'm trying to take extra care of myself, and this is a good way to rest. My brother's memorial is this Sunday (11th) and it's going to be an 8 hour round trip, as well as the time spent there, with family and friends. This will be hard physically as well as deep within my soul. I don't know how I could get through times like these without God holding my head above the water.

You have earned the right to be as lazy as you want, dbnc2!
I was thinking about how the loneliness creeps in this time of year no matter what and that's okay. Mary didn't have Jesus surrounded by her family. She and Joseph were alone. The journey to Bethlehem was lonely. But God sent shepherds and kings. All strangers but they lightened that burden. If you are battling loneliness you have good company. It's as much part of the season as the bright lights and songs. Maybe moreso.
May any loneliness you feel bring you closer to the "Bethlehem" experience. That small voice in your heart speaks from this place.
Thank you pixipixil....this post has touched my heart greatly! Merry Christmas.....may God richly bless you in 2017!!!

Thanks, Pixi. I've been thinking a lot about that very thing.

My post to you disappeared, Coravee. I was just commenting how often people of prayer are thinking along the same lines. My unbelieving friends call it synergy. I call it the Holy Spirit.

So true, pixi. And somehow when we pray, denominational differences disappear. When our basic belief is the Word of God, all those interpretations become insignificant beside what we share in common. And I do agree that the Holy Spirit gives some fresh ideas to different people about the same time.
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree la la la la LOL
Wishing all my puzzler friends on here peace and love this holiday season. May you feel the joy in your home that you bring to me. Unknown
I'm wishing you blessings and joy this Christmas. I am so happy to call you a member of my family and I cherish spending time with you. Unknown but says what I feel. Hugs.
Wishing you aussiesapphire and all here at C4JS a very Happy Peaceful Christmas. I have been blessed to meet such wonderful, caring, loving friends. Thank you all for getting me through my 'dark days..God Bless you all.xx

We AL wish the same to you as well, AS. Tell Hazel we wish her a special Christmas and if you see her, thank her for being allowed to use her poem in our Christmas Day service. She is a great poet.

Mamag15 you can have a foot or two of the snow we have here. Snowing again right now. Glad we drove into town to get groceries yesterday. Everyone was so full of joy and kindness, to bad that never seems to last. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Olamae - Our island seems to be protected somewhat, which is good in some ways and not so good in others. The rain usually goes around us and the gardens do not get the water it needs. But where I am, it was protected from all those awful rain storms. Thank you for caring. Hugs.

I am feeling relived that you are alright. Hugs coming your way!
Lovely!! It's Christmas Eve 2016......I can hardly believe it. Our Christmas changes year by year. It is just my husband and myself at home now. Our kids have their own homes and families. My husband is a "stay at home" kinda guy, so it sort of gets lonely at times! But we are blessed. the kids will be here tomorrow...HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS. Enjoy Christmas Eve everyone.
