10 Things of Christmas Thankfulness

December 22, 2013 By Mary Hill 9 Comments

Ten Things of Thankful

By Mary Hill

Christ’s
 Birthday is 
Here and the tree 
is decorated and my fur babies snoozing
Hubby is gone Christmas shopping 
for yours truly




We’ve 
finished 
shopping for everyone 
else, (just about). I have one 
last thing to buy: a frame for a beautiful 
picture. For a special present
A portrait of joy
and Love.



I 
talked 
more today
to my brother’s 
and sister than I have all year.
They are all coming with their 
families on 
Christmas day.

Two
days of 
parties oh my, 
I have to clean house.
Grands and kids for Christmas Eve
then my family on
Christmas day.


My 
husband 
has surgery 
the day after Christmas.
We will have family here to 
support us and a church bringing food.
God will see
us through!

Stars
all lit up
Beautiful tree spinning
All around. Decorated house and 
beautiful Christmas music playing 
in the background
Alleluia.

Christ’s
Birthday is
 almost here, remembering
Him and praying blessings for all 
my wonderful friends here in the US
and across the pond.

Don’t 
forget, the grand 
daughter’s fourth birthday
celebration today. We had
fun watching all the babies, playing
and runnig around.

I 
feel our 
beautiful leader’s 
pain because I remember 
a holiday season not too long ago 
when I got the news that my baby
went to heaven.

I 
know that 
he’s a he, playing 
in the clouds with my 
own dad who died in 1999. 
My sister has a baby up there too, 
whom died the same year. They are watching us 
and waiting for us to join them 
in heaven.

The
ornaments 
on this year’s tree, 
are the friends that I have 
made in the blogosphere. Blessing to all
and peace and goodwill.
God’s
love
abounds!

Unless moved to do so, I will not post again until after Christmas as I enjoy the holiday season with my family this week. I pray you have a wonderful and Merry Christmas. 🙂

    Sounds like you’ve got a busy few days coming up. I hope your husband’s surgery goes well.
    And I am amazed at how my pointer turns into a rose when it’s over your blog. How do you do that?!
