The Holidays....BittersweetI haven't blogged for awhile because December is a bittersweet month for me.
My mother's birthday would have been the 16th and the date she left for heaven was the 14th. I'm so glad she's not so miserable and in pain any more, but gosh, I sure do miss her. I still catch myself thinking, "Oh, I've got to go tell mama......".
Then I really hate the commericialism side of Christmas, especially with our economy as bad as it is. I've wished for years that we could all turn the clock back 20 or 30 years and try to change what we've let this holiday become. I see all the ads on tv, over and over, and I think of all the children right here in American that, when asked what they want for Christmas, actually say, "food and clothes." Such sad little faces. I can imagine them watching the ads and knowing they won't get anything at Christmas, not even extra food. I know there are several organizations that help out, but I think of the little ones that slip through the cracks, the ones whose parents don't bother to put them on some list because they're only wondering where their next "hit" will come from.
Yet this is the month we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He should be foremost in our minds, not "what on earth am I going to get for Aunt Martha? She already has everything."
Don't mean this to be a downer. Just rambling about my thoughts.
I really do hope that each and every one of you has a wonderful holiday and that you really do understand that "Jesus Is The Reason For The Season." Maybe you can pass that phrase around any chance you get!
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to all........
Spaces Upgrade?Give me a break! This new update is ridiculous. I have yet to find anyone who really likes it best. I hate what it's done to my Friends List. I hate it that I can't arrange the people on that list like we could before the update. And I really hate that when you click on a Friend, you can't see their whole Space, just pieces of who they've become friends with & bits of their blogs.
The whole purpose of Spaces was they we could customize our little corner of the net so it would look the way we wanted it to look & so other people could see what all we have on our space. As it stands down, we might as well delete everything on our pages other than the blog & friends.
I know there are some bugs they are working on, but apparently the access to our Friends spaces is one thing they don't consider a "bug."
Let me know what the rest of you think! P. S. To Last Blog
I just received a letter from my Attorney today telling me that he will be filing an appeal to my hearing. This next Judge could decide to send it back to the last Judge for reconsideration, or he could overrule the last Judge, or maybe send it to a higher court for their decision. However, it could take up to 24 months for us to receive a response. I didn't want to hear that, so I'm rejecting it outright & depending on God to make it all go smoothly & much faster. I hope you will all pray the same thing for me. I still pray God will give me the strength to endure & to bless my small savings so it will last as long as necessary. Afterall, if He could feed the multitudes with a few fish & a few pieces of bread, He can certainly handle my finances. I just wish I knew what His plans are for me, but since I don't, I'm taking it once day at a time! |
