December 2007

We come from a time of being thankful (November), and we are entering a period of being a blessing (December). Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year, but I try to act like it's Christmas all year long. People around me are blessed all year, whether it's a birthday, a promotion, an anniversary, or whatever. God has been so good to me. I've been blessed & favored in so many ways.

I admonish everyone reading this to remember the reason for the season-JESUS. To remain grateful in all things-our possessions, our health, our family, our LIFE! Things could be so much worse. Recently I had to park a good distance from my job. The devil was trying to get me to complain, but I quickly remembered that I was blessed because I could walk; I was blessed because I have a job to go to; I was blessed that I have a car to have to park...

Let us do this (remain thankful and grateful), not just during this season of giving and being a blessing, but throughout the year. Since this is a season of giving, I thought I would help give you gift ideas for a woman for Christmas by providing you with my Christmas list:

Memory Book White Summer Suit (might be on clearance)
Punch Bowl/Cake Bowl all in one Nice White Shirts to usher in at church
Gold Bangles - 3/16 inch Body Spray - raspberry, apple, and pear
Haiku cologne matching crock pots - medium size
car seat covers - tan or black 10kt or 14kt gold hoop earrings
money is always good jogging pants - white, orange, blue or black (XL)
big flower pots throw - brown or black chenille to match bed
gift certificate - Wal-Mart, Puff's, Cato's, It's Fashion, Fashion City

Have a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
