The Long Range Forecast

I had thought to refrain from Link-ups of a while but as I was listening to WHEO our local AM radio station(1270). They were doing their call in section called Community Conversations when John a regular caller called in with a giggle and said he had the way to tell what your weather will be all year.

Richard said, "Okay, tell us."

John said,"You record the weather for the first 12 days of the year. Then each day should be a reflection of the overall weather for each month; the first day would be January and the second day would be February." 

I thought it sounded fun and wondered how accurate it would be and first thought I would make a post and keep up with it through the year. Then I thought it might be fun for others to join in as well.

I may be the only sort that find fun in such things.

I have set up a little link-up.

Feel free to link-up!

I'm going to chime in January 1-12 and then the last day of each month.

At the end of the year maybe I'll drink a warm cup of cider

and 

have a chuckle or maybe I'll be surprised.

Joys for a New Year

Joy: 

noun 1. a feeling of great pleasure & happiness. delight, jubilation, triumph, bliss

verb 2. rejoice.

I've been traveling through some much loved sites and visiting blogs that I've neglected due to the rush of the holiday season. There seems to be an abundant call for Joy for the new year.I thought possibly it was only me who felt somewhat eluded by the presents of it lately. I hadn't commented too much of my lack of joy because there tends to be an abundance of comments suggesting that a lack of joy is to be lacking in faith or that you might not love or appreciate what God so graciously gives us. 

Hurry, worry and noise will steal your joy.

This phrase is stated on our local AM radio station by the commentator often and there's a lot of truth in the statement but the modern life is full of hurry, worry, and noise. I sometimes feel as if the more I try to escape these three, the more I'm bombarded by them. 

 Are you making resolution?

I gave up resolution and instead I set goal.

Are you taking inventory of your resolutions or goal?

I am too.

Will you pray about your goals?

I'm afraid not to.

Will there be "joy" in 2014?

If we rejoice, I'm sure we will find bliss.

Psalm 70:4 

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say, Let God be magnified.

BE BLESSED!

6 days

Oh My Word!! We're down to 6 more days. 

Isn't it wonderful when real life takes hold and there no time to put together a post.

We actually put our Christmas Tree up last Friday but we've already started making our Christmas rounds, so..this is the first chance I've had to sit down and share my pictures and a few words.

I would also like to add, I was quite amazed when I downloaded my picture and it was twinkling.

I bet I just got a many a' eyeroll...

I didn't know it would do that...

Only two stocking hung this year..

that made me a little sad.

We don't have a mantel so this has always been the designated stocking spot.

Most years the stocking are from the floor to the ceiling.

So goes when everyone grows up...

We went for a tree that would be a little better sized for the room.

We have been notorious for choosing a tree extremely to large for the room. 

I had the lights on for them and they were totally ready to get the decorating on.

First, the balls then the special ornaments.

I had to giggle; if you saw one red ornament, you saw another, same with the green and so on.

Some of the special ones

The cross was made for me some time back. 

We had used it up until a few years ago, when we had a antiqued star that we used

but we've went back to our cross the past couple of years.

It wouldn't hurt my feelings to get some snow for Christmas.

It seems a little funny the way that sun is shining in on them 

but it really was quite a cold day.

 I always enjoy finding a special place for my little ornament to hang.

A friend from work made it for me.

Things like that tend to make me sentimental.

However you like to decorate do it to satisfy yourself and you family.

By all means,

Be Blessed!
