26 Days of Christmas...Day 1...'A' Words...

Praising Christ Alphabetically: Hope to finish on December 26...Today...Mostly 'A' Words....
Day 1...Getting close to the time when Angels Announced His coming to be A Star Out Of Jacob....and The Author of Peace. Christ is also called Author And Finisher Of Our Faith...& Author Of Our Salvation...Annointed One.....Advocate with the Father...Apostle and High Priest.....and Alpha & Omega.

Almighty God, as we begin the Christmas season, Allow us to Praise You! Allelujah! Praising You today for sending Your Son, Jesus, to be An Atoning Sacrifice for our sins. All Authority and Power were given unto Him! Thanking You for the 33 Years You Allowed Him to walk on Your Footstool, And especially the 3 Years He taught the Apostles, who have instructed us through Your Holy Word.

You Are An Amazing Awesome God! Abba Father!
In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.

So glad we were blessed to spend some time with our precious 2-year old granddaughter, Ellie, during the Thanksgiving holiday. One thing I've noticed is she has several 'distinctive' walks, depending on her mood . . . there's the 'pitter-patter walk when she's being playful, and the beautiful swagger, when she's bubbling over with confidence . . . plus several others . . . but one thing's for certain . . . Ellie walked right into our heart!

"There are no Stop Signs, Exits, Speed Limits . . . or Speed Traps . . . when going the 'Extra' Mile, Rick noted...."Pedal to the Medal!"

"There's only one thing worse than an expert . . . that's someone who 'Thinks' they're an Expert!" Jack said expertly.

It has now been confirmed, as reported by the Food Network, that people who eat their vegetables faithfully . . . for at least 85 years . . . WILL NOT DIE YOUNG! LOL . . . (Carrot Cake is at the top of my list!)

"According to the latest statistics, there are 75 million people who aren't working, Randy said. --"Millions more . . . if you count the ones with jobs!" he laughed.

Hypocrite: Funeral Director trying to look sad at a $50,000 funeral.

Past due notice from an attorney: THIS BILL IS A YEAR OLD! --Note from client: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

"Fear . . . I'll tell you what fear is", Roger said --"Fear is being stuck in traffic after you just had two cups of coffee and a bran muffin.!"

APESPEAK:

Said an ape

as he swung by his tail

to his offspring, both female and male

from your offspring my dears

in a couple of years

may evolve . . .

a professor at Yale.

"I may not always return the affection of those that like me . . . but let me say this: I always admire their 'Good' Judgment!" Frank laughed.

"When I told my wife I was trying to 'plan ahead', she said "You need to! The one you've got is empty!" (One of these days! LOL)

Golden Oldie Observation: When an oyster gets irritated, it makes a pearl. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we produced a pearl when we get irritated? . . . A pearl of patience,perhaps....LOL!

Hey! you survived Black Friday & Cyber Monday.....So have a Great Week!
