I often hear comments from.people about regretting that its time for the Christmas season. I have never felft this way. I'll admit that I was sad during Christmas, the first year after my husband died. The sadness disappeared when I remembered the "Reason For The Season!". Pondering on the Birth Of Christ was enough to bring me joy. The Bible verse 2 Corinthians 5:8 explains that when you're absent from the body, you are present with the Lord. Just knowing my husband is with the Lord in heavenly places, brings me comfort. The " blues" that we Seniors.have can quickly turn into depression. We face a lot of situations daily that can make us sad. My friends and I call each.other when we are facing limited contact from our grown children, financial problems, or experiencing pain from chronic illness. We give free therapy sessions to each other because it's cheaper. Here are some things I do to chase away the " blues &qu

wallpaperaccess.com I have been putting up my faux pre-lit Christmas tree for the past few years. I was following tradition for a while with red decorations. A couple of years ago I saw a purple Christmas tree with all the trimmings. I have been hooked on purple since then. I went to a discount store searching for purple tinsel. They did not have any. I was disappointed because I saw a tinsel wreath craft online. I stumbled upon purple poinsettias mixed in a bunch of red and white poinsettias. The display was about seven feet tall. I was so happy that bought all of their purple poinsettias! I decided to make potted purple poinsettia arrangements for my front yard. I was able to get most of my items at a dollar store.. I bought the following items: (1) Roll, Shiny Purple Gift Wrap ( 30 inches x 48 inches) (2) 8 inches to Plastic Sand Buckets (from toy section) (2) Purple Mix Pansies (1) Purple Rose Bud Bush Note: Purple Wired Ribbon for a bow was not available.

https://www.delish.com/ I must face it! I live alone and I have no one to cook for! I am a widow and my sons have left home! I no longer have to plan meals and cook hearty meals for my husband and sons. Frankly, I used to love cooking more than doing housework. My friends and I used to take turns serving brunch once a month. I enjoyed cooking an elaborate brunch for my friends. Now, the Virus, COVID-19 has invaded my life. I am staying at home most of the time. I don't visit my friends anymore. We don't serve brunch any more because of the government social gathering rules. I still love to cook but I had to change my cooking methods. The new rule is, cook less, cook tasty, and be budget-conscious . Dollar stores are a Senior Citizen's best friend. I stock my pantry with spices, canned meats, can veggies, pasta sauce, breakfast foods, dairy products, baking staples, snacks and desserts from the Dollar Stores. I purchase frozen veggies, frozen co

Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the tabernacle of the Lord . 10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord and wept in anguish. 17 Then Eli answered and said, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.” 18 And she said, “Let your maidservant find favor in your sight.” So the woman went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad. 20 So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, “Because I have asked for him from the Lord .” TODAY'S PRAISE SONG(S):
