It's Christmas Love

It’s Christmas, The best time of the year, people seem to change for the good, with a little more love and a lot more cheer.
Our dreams come alive again, and hope rises to the top. Families smile and grin and some how we find the means to shop, even though we only have a little to give, we love a lot.
Feel the spirit, breathe it in deep, and then try to share it. For those Christmas memories are ours to keep filled with love, kindness, and Christmas Merit.
Dreams really do come true, that feeling of love that can only come from above, sent by God to you. No matter what it seems, at Christmas we live those dreams of love through and through.
You walk into the room where the tree is all lit. The presents will be open soon, as you find that special place to sit. The anticipation is in the air of all the gifts that will be opened, unwrapped and shared.
Feel the spirit, breathe it in deep, and then try to share it. For those Christmas memories are ours to keep filled with love, kindness, and Christmas Merit.
For me, I try to grasp the memories of Christmas past, of Mom and Dad, my two sisters and all the love they gave to me will always last.
A little eggnog, and Silent Night playing on the stereo, you try to stay awake, and yet you nod off, and away you go, dreaming of all the fun your children had, and all the love they have for you as Mom, and Dad.
Feel the spirit, breathe it in deep, and then try to share it. For those Christmas memories are ours to keep filled with love, kindness, and Christmas Merit.

Thanksgiving Prayer

Thanksgiving Prayer;

I may not be a millionaire, but I am Gazillionaire beyond wealth from the richness of my Family. Thank you God!

I wake up sore and stiff every day, but I am thankful for that because for each new day that I awake, I can re-capture my youth by watching My Children and Grand Children play, and for those pains that remind me every day of a rich and fullness of life I have! Thank you God!

My mind is not as sharp as it use to be, but that’s OK because it makes my memories that I have, and the new knowledge that I learn so much more appreciable! Thank you God!

I can’t afford expensive meals, but that’s OK, because it makes me appreciate what I have more, and that I still have enough to share with my friends. Thank you God

I thank you for my life whether it’s long, or short it has given me the ability to experience love, to see love, and to share love. Thank you God!

Most of all God I thank you for making me, by giving me the most wonderful gift of life, and by this life comes the promise that we all have the ability by our choices, to have an eternal life in your Kingdom. Thank you God!

Amen

The Old Lady and Old Man

The Old Lady and Old Man

Written by: Lee LeCaptain

There's and old lady, and old man in an old pick up truck driven down the road. The old man has a dog his lap and a story that must be told.
They met back in 43, she was in the WAC, and he was in the Navy. They fell in love when they were on leave, fighting for a cause that they both believe.
He was a strong young handsome man, fighting for freedom and the American plan. The young mans dream were as grand as could be, have a wife, a house and a happy family.
She was beautiful, long dark hair, hazel green eye's and a smile that could match a Hawaiian sunrise. She dreamt of a man that was pure in heart, a man that would love her and be so smart.
Later that year they decided to wed, for a long, long future that would be ahead. First came a girl, then a boy, a life so happy and filled with joy. The young girl danced, the boy played ball, what a wonderful romance they had it all.
Time had passed it didn't seem that long the kids grew up fast, so healthy and strong. The girl became a mom and the boy a dad, to create a family just like they had.
Now the old lady, and the old man live all alone, with a dog they had got when the kids left from home. It's been 50 years of good living, and life, what a great family husband and wife. As they drove away going down the road, I knew this story had got to be told.

Pray for Fred

I feel sad today. My best friend, or even more so my self adopted brother just 52 years of age had a stroke yesterday. He is in Michigan, and I am in Florida trying to put together all what just happened in the past 24 hours. It all seems like a whirl wind, a bad dream that you don't want to believe. The stories of Fred keep rolling in over the phone like a strange montage collage of the twilight zone.

You see things like this are not suppose to happen to guys that are physically fit and at such an early age.

Fred always wanted to be rich, and he tried many ways to achieve his dream. The problem was he was to nice, to honest, and couldn't be corrupted in his endeavours.
If you were cold he would give his jacket to you. I you were hungry he would feed you. if you needed some money he would give some to you with no questions asked. I know of two businesses today that would not exist if it weren't not for his generosity. People have gotten there homes and restaurants on loans from Fred that were never paid back. There were also Christmas gifts, and airline tickets that were never paid back. The thing was Fred loaned money on the idea that it would probably never be paid back anyway, To Fred, friends and family are more important to him money.

When somebody says don't worry I'll be there for you, he was. By shoveling snow, mowing lawn, fixing the neighbors car, raking leaves, moving, lifting, what ever it took to make someone else's day better.

But the best part of Fred is, listening, making you feel good and believing in yourself. I have known Fred for the 48 years out my 50 years of age, and he has never given up on me. I owe allot of what I am, and who I am because of you buddy.

Fred, I just want to say you are rich. Maybe not in monetary gains, but I don't know anyone else who is far more richer than you, in Christian Spiritual gains. People love you, your family loves you, and I love you, but most of all God really loves you.

People please pray for Fred to heal his stroke.

Thanks,

Your Brother Lee

Christmas, Faith, and Love

It's Christmas morning the day the world celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Some people say that this day is really not his birthday, it's just a symbolic day of celebration. I disagree, for the simple fact of faith. You see December 25th is the day the majority of the Christian world have set aside in faith to celebrate his birth. This day the world celebrates the gift of unconditional love. The day our Lord God has sent his only begotten son to save all his children from despair, in the name of love.
Remember we are a all family created as one, from the heart of God.
Have faith, and Merry Christmas.
