Counting My Blessings Day 23

I am Blessed to have had the last 2 days off, the next 2 are gonna be a killer!
I was blessed with the time to enjoy myself at home and get a few errands done today here in town.
I took some of the time I was off to put up my Christmas Tree :)
                                        DON"T GROAN!
I work retail and I am working all weekend, so this way I get to enjoy it.

Here is a peek.
The last two years we did not really celebrate Christmas, it has been too depressing. This year I want to, Lee really doesn't but I hope he changes his mind. When I stopped working on the tree this morning, I prayed and I felt so good. I hope Jesus likes my display of Celebration for his Birthday.
I am not done with it, but had other things to get done so I stopped for today.

 I cannot imagine I will have time to be online tomorrow, so I am gonna set up an automatic post. PRAY FOR ME Y"ALL :) I work 11pm to 7 am tonight into tomorrow then I have to rush home, finish the food, go to my parents house and hour away, eat, do the secret Santa names, do Colby's Christmas list and be back at work by 9:30 tomorrow night until 8 Friday morning oh and I need to sleep in there somewhere, so pray God will sustain me through the festivities and Black Friday.
Thank You Father for blessing me with gifts; the tree was a gift from Laura and many of the ornaments were gifts from family and friends.The greatest gift was the birth of your Son, thank you most of all for Him.

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as...

Merry Christmas Y'all. Yes I say Merry Christmas! I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me. I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before... I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too. So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make...
