Dear Friends,
It’s been a busy time now with our daughter home from college for the holidays and hubby and I are enjoying our full house again with her and our son! So I haven’t been online as much and I’m sorry for missing your wonderful posts. I always feel really bad when I can’t stay caught up. Anyway, this will be the last one for me for 2013. However, I’ll still try to visit blogs when I can..
I won’t completely fall off the radar! 🙂
I wish you an abundance of love, peace, laughter and many new wonderful memories during this holiday season. And a big “Thank You” for your visits, as well as, for supporting the arrival of my debut poetry book. I appreciate all of you! Sending many hugs, much love and I wish you a safe and Happy New Year, too!
I’ll see you in 2014! ♥
May this holiday find you smiling
Enjoying priceless times with loved ones
Rejoicing in the birth of our Dear Savior
Realizing your blessings and finding peace
Yearning for the Holy birthday of the year
Caring for others who need their spirits lifted
Hosting family and friends in cozy get-togethers
Remembering, any act of kindness is truly a gift
Imagining the festive spirit throughout the New Year
Seeing the delight and wonder through a child’s eyes
Taking time and letting God’s loving light shine through you
Making magical moments that will turn into precious memories
Allowing yourself tranquility in the midst of the seasonal chaos
Silently saying a prayer for those who are in need of God’s healing grace

This was very pleasant and warmly cheering. Just right for a Christmas sentiment.
Thank you very much for your kind words, Wayne! Merry Christmas to you!
The old traditional carols are so melodic, they kind of carry themselves.
I agree, Wayne! Listening to Christmas carols is one of my favorite things about this holiday season…thanks again, for your comments and visits!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thanks so much, Steve, and the same to you!
May your Christmas be a very blessed and wholesome one!
Thanks, Wendell, and wishing you the same! Many hugs and blessings…
Lauren, wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas, and all the best for a wonderful new year, my friend! xoxox
Thanks so much, Julie, and all the same to you, my friend! Many hugs and looking forward to new inspiration in 2014! xoxoxo
Seasons’ greetings and all the very best to you and your family too, Lauren 🙂
I know the feeling to have the family back again.
In a few hours’ time, Lisa and I are headed to airport to fetch home our daughters. Alicia is flying in from Australia and the youngest, Amelia from Dubai. Our son, Adamson returns from New York City next week.
We can’t wait to be a family again.
Peace and blessings,
Eric
Thanks so much, Eric, and I’m assuming your daughters are home now and maybe your son?? Have fun making new memories! It’s been great having both of our kids home, too …Wishing all the same to you and your family, as well! Hugs and blessings!
Merry Christmas my friend and enjoy your family time. God Bless
Thanks, PJ, and all the same to you, too! God Bless you with big hugs!

Thanks so much, Al, and I hope Santa treats you well, too! 🙂 Merry Christmas!
Oh I’m sure I will get what I deserve lol. Not always the same thing as what I want though 😉
Well, the question is….have you been good? 😉
I have no choice. There is no one to be naughty with 😆
Ahh…well, maybe next year there will be! 😉
Heh. we can live in hope. But I have no idea where the town of Hope is, so I will stay here instead 😉
Well, I know Hope exists, but sometimes the view is a bit foggy; hang in there and it’ll clear up….Merry Christmas! 🙂
🙂 Well if my daughter has it right, I’ll be in Florida by this time next year 😆
merry Christmas Lauren

Hello my sweet friend! First let me say that was beautifully done 🙂 Second; Merry Christmas to you and yours!! I’m sure you are thrilled having your daughter home for the holidays, enjoy. Third; God is ever faithful to send me someone in my worst times of need to uplift me and this, my worst time of all, it was you!! I am so grateful to Him for it and to you for the kindness, support, sympathy and friendship. Words are not sufficient enough to express what it means to me; so just allow me to say this, I love you for it. For the first time since I escaped my abuser and got off drugs (accepted back into my family) I was too sick for our Christmas gathering 😦 and it looks like I’m gonna miss out on Mark’s tomorrow too 😦 😦 So you will just have to celebrate for me 🙂
Wishing you all the best that God has to offer, both now and in the new year!!!
Love and hugs, Terri
Thanks, Terri, for your lovely words and wishes…I am speechless right now, not knowing what to say, but only wishing you many miracles for the new year. I will keep you in my prayers and pray that God will continue to watch over you and Mark and provide comfort and grace…Much love and many hugs to you again. xoxo
Merry Christmas, Lauren!!! 🙂
Thanks, Cha, and the same to you! Have a wonderful celebration and a very Happy New Year! xx

Thank you very much, Gede, and I wish you a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year, too! 🙂
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Thanks, Miro, and the same to you!
That was a thoughtful poem.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Lauren.
Happy holidays, Lauren. May 2014 bring you much love and happiness. Blessings and love to you ♥
Thanks so much, Subhan, and I wish you all the same for the new year! Sending love and many hugs, too! 🙂 xx
