There are so many ways to remember what Christmas is about. Many say that “Jesus is the reason for the season.” But He seems to be forgotten as people rush through the stores buying gifts they hope will please the recipient.
Not sure of how to approach this subject, I looked through a stack of ‘papers’ I have been saving for years – as many of you do or have done. I ran across the following and knew that I had to share it. It is a short writing by Brian Morgan. I have never heard of him but love what he wrote. It speaks for itself.
THE LEGEND OF THE CHRISTMAS PRAYER
Once upon a Christmas time, long ago, a man who had a big heart, but little money, dreamt he could give his friends endless riches. When he awoke, the dream kept running through his mind, over and over. Finally, he asked himself: “If I could give my friends anything, what would I give?” He smiled as he began to think of all the wondrous things he could buy for them but then he thought: “I’m a happy man, yet I have none of those things.” And he began to think that perhaps real wealth could not be measured in riches. Perhaps there were gifts of greater value than the things money could buy. He pondered these things as he thought of what Christmas meant to him. Taking out his quill, he began to write on a parchment scroll:
On the first day of Christmas I pray for you joy in abundance and laughter, for laughter cures our ills and joy makes our spirits soar.
On the second day of Christmas, I pray for you a sigh when you need one, for a sigh clears the heart as a cough clears the throat, and with a sigh comes acceptance of what we cannot change.
On the third day of Christmas, I pray for you tears when you need them, for tears clear the eyes to see the stars and cleanse the soul to let healing being.
On the fourth day of Christmas, I pray for you serenity, for fights and wars start in individual hearts and that is where they must end.
On the fifth day of Christmas, I pray for you wisdom, for our priceless gift is the gift of choice – and we should use it well every day, in word and deed.
On the sixth day of Christmas, I pray for you patience, for most troubles pass if we wait them out, and success comes with persistence.
On the seventh day of Christmas, I pray for you courage, for there may be many pitfalls and dangers ahead and problems can only be solved when they are faced.
On the eighth day of Christmas, I pray for you compassion, for we cannot help others until we understand them, and we cannot understand them until we walk in their shoes.
On the ninth day of Christmas, I pray for you a willingness to work, for work turns dreams to reality-whether the dreams are ours or belong to those we can help.
On the tenth day of Christmas, I pray for you unwavering faith, for faith shapes our morals and our destiny and draws up closer to God.
On the eleventh day of Christmas, I pray for you a mind full of hope, for hope determines our attitudes, sets our goals and creates our ideals.
On the twelfth day of Christmas, I pray for you a heart so full of love that every day you give some away to those whose paths you cross.
And with each prayer, the man realized he was not giving a gift at all, but hoping that his friends would find the gifts they already had within them.
‘Jesus is the reason for the season’…

Glory to the newborn King – from Isaiah 7:14 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Immanuel means “God with us.” And that’s exactly who He is.
From my house to yours.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all throughout the world!

GARLIC has had a bad rap for years with people avoiding it, because of it’s pungent taste, and as they say, “it makes you ‘stink”- your breath, your body the whole you. This is a typical example of people judging something they know little about.
Sometimes I run into interesting websites. The link below is one of them. With ‘home schooling’ becoming popular, mom’s are probably tearing their hair out trying to think of ways to keep the young ones occupied.

TIPS!
for these conditions they are only suppressing these manifestations and not treating the cause. Treating only the symptoms is the start of the process of health diseases because it is suppression of what the real cause is. You are now in the sub-acute stage where the mucus is yellow. The continuity of this stage by the use of pharmaceuticals and/or even natural herbs (the wrong ones), causes these manifestations to go deeper and deeper until you are now in the chronic state, where you now have created lymph stagnation, which imposing on the cells creates hyper or hypo conditions. The worsened chronic stage creates conditions of diseases to include thyroid issues, arthritis, fibromyalgia, lupus, Lyme disease, loss of calcium in the bones, varicose veins, depression, prolapses, cataracts, osteoporosis, etc. and etc. The things your body is witnessing is simply the body’s effort to deal with extreme chronic acidosis. It is important that you, as a lay person, understands all of this even if your doctor doesn’t. Treating only the symptoms is killing you and soon you will be in a world where the sun doesn’t shine.
