Deck the Halls...Mentho-Lyptus that is!



Deck the halls with boxes of tissue
fa la la la la la la la la

If you act quickly it won’t be an issue
fa la la la la la la la la

Don we now our stuffy noses
fa la la la la la la la la

When we cough we strike our poses
fa la la la la la la la la lah!
       (if you are close to 40 or over it - you know what pose THAT is!!!)


Tis the season to be snotty
fa la la la la la la

Need a blanket to warm our bodies
fa la la la la la la

Kids are screaming dad is sneezing
fa la la la la la la la la

Oh that’s just great the other kid is wheezing
fa la la la la la la la la



Viruses, flus, and bronchitis
fa la la la la la la la la

Sleep deprivation just adds to the crisis,
fa la la la la la la la la

Wish this season wouldn’t be so busy,
fa la la la la la la la la

Shopping and sickness just makes me dizzy,
fa la la la la la la la la

 
We finished our fluids and medicine too,
fa la la la la la la la la
Now I can wish a Merry Christmas to you,
fa la la la la la la la la!!!!!!!
 
 

Abiding Still,

1 Corinthians 13 Christmas Style by Sharon Jaynes



I have this wonderful book called Celebrating a Christ-Centered Christmas by Sharon Jaynes and I wanted to share her Christmas twist on 1 Corinthians 13 with you!


Merry Christmas!!


1 Corinthians 13 Christmas Style


©By Sharon Jaynes



If I decorate my house perfectly with lovely plaid bows, strands of twinkling lights, and shiny glass balls, but do not show love to my family - I'm just another decorator.


(my ornament)


If I slave away in the kitchen, baking dozens of Christmas cookies, preparing gourmet meals, and arranging a beautifully adorned table at mealtime, but do not show love to my family - I'm just another cook.


(my pie)


If I work at the soup kitchen, carol in the nursing home, and give all that I have to charity, but do not show love to my family - It profits me nothing.


(my inner chef)


If I trim the spruce with shimmering angels and crocheted snowflakes, attend a myriad of holiday parties, and sing in the choir's cantata but do not focus on Christ, I have missed the point.


(my tree)


Love stops the cooking to hug the child.


(my son)


Love sets aside the decorating to kiss the husband.


(my husband)


Love is kind, though harried and tired.


(favorite fun Christmas movie)


Love doesn't envy another home that has coordinated Christmas china and table linens.




(my table)

Love doesn't yell at the kids to get out of the way.




Love doesn't give only to those who are able to give in return, but rejoices in giving to those who can't.


(my daughter @ food bank)


Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.



(skeptical horse in Waco)


Love never fails. Video games will break; pearl necklaces will be lost; golf clubs will rust. But giving the gift of love will endure.





(one of the kids ornament gifts from last year)







Merry Christmas!!
