Happy Holidays 2017
Season Greetings
Merry Christmas
Happy Hanukah
Happy Kwanzaa
Happy Holidays
Peace on Earth; Good Will to all Mankind.
Along with wishing everyone joy and peace, I also want to take this time to thank blog followers and participants. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I’ll probably be off and on but have no plans of writing blog posts until after the first of the year. I still plan to be on Twitter posting links of headlines. If you’re not following me, my handle is @XenaBb7.
Remember those who are spending this holiday for the first time without a loved one, as well as those whose grief continues from previous years. Send them love and positive energy.
Here’s a video I posted last year. It is one of my favorites. Here’s hoping it brings a smile to your heart.

Thanks, Xena. Enjoy your time these next two weeks, each and every day. I will check your twitter posts which you have showing in the right column here. That scroll feature on the Twitter box is nice.
May all of you here be filled with warmth, good times with friends and family, emotional uplift and spiritual refreshment, and be able to put a personal touch on those things you choose to celebrate.

Gronda,
It’s certainly been filled with surprises. My hot water heater has broken and I can’t get anyone to replace it after Christmas. Then, I had to call out an HVAC company because my furnace was struggling to put out heat. That was an awful scare. I can always boil water but I can’t set fires in my house. 🙂 At least the furnace was fixed.

Whew! That is a lot to be dealing with. I am glad to know that your furnace is fixed and that you will have heat.

Yahtzee,
It’s not a lot to deal with — just a lot of phone calls during the holiday season when people are on vacation, or have full schedules, or don’t return calls, or want to be paid triple-time. Stuff like that. LOL!

Mz. Xena, Now I remember why I have never removed my wood burning heater! I live in a very rural area, and any sudden change in the weather causes me to lose electric service, and in the last few years I have become very adverse to freezing! Glad to hear that they did at least fix your heat, as you said, you can heat water but a fire built in the front room causes a few problems you probably don’t want to deal with! Stay warm and enjoy your holiday!!

Mothman,
LOL! A funny thing is that the other night, I watched the movie Imitation of Life and they talked about living in a “cold water flat”. I thought those type of rentals must have been usual back in the 1950’s. It’s amazing how we become accustomed to living with conveniences such as electricity, hot water heaters and furnaces. We’ve come a long way since the days of log cabins and water wells. How did those generations ever survive? 🙂

First the natural, then the spiritual. 1 Corinthians 15:46
Christ in us is our hope of glory. Colossians 1:27
Christ is not a religion nor limited to any religion. It is the anointing of God, who is Creator of all things. The anointing is the nature and ways of God as shown to us by Jesus who did no evil, forgave all, and sought not to convert anyone before healing them. He sat with and talked with those who others considered sinners.
Christ is not in the manger. Let us follow the path of Christ in birthing forth his nature and ways in us, through us. Galatians 4:19

Thanks for sharing that, Xena.
Oh, how I would always wish to be receptive to the “Nature and Ways of God!”
May hearts hear the tidings of Comfort and Joy!
May hearts be birthed and grow in Love, Compassion, Truth, and Light.
May hearts be imbued with LOVE and then touch the world with healing and kindness.
