    The Meaning of Christmas

    Christmas is the celebration of the birth of the Messiah.  It is the joy in the heart of every believer and the thankfulness to a loving God who gave use the gift of this birth, the gift of our salvation. 

    It is not the nativity display at the state capitals, it is not in the phrase of choice to celebrate the holidays. While the unbelieving world tries desperately to erase and eradicate Christmas from our nation and the world, it will never be gone as long as there are believers because the true meaning is in the heart of every believer who accepts the free gift of salvation from God.

    Christmas is not about us, it is about the free and priceless gift from God.

    A Joyous Christmas Beach Angels

    I'm Splashing In Beachies.......Drenched with Wonderment & Many HappyCrySmileCrySmile To see Jazz & Here a song from her Heart! Thank YOU!

    As for me Internet was having a Hissy Fit & Spazzed out on me!

    Also Having to Step up to the Plate & Become the Whole Kit & caboodle at Home with DH! Bandage Changes, Meds, Meds, & MORE MEDS! Answering many ?'s of "Have I had my Meds YET" or "When was the Last time I had my MEDS"! Meds creating forgetfulness!!! Needing to Be Punctual to the Minute with a 'Bone Growth Stimulator' it simulates your brains own impulses for bone growth. The Catch is it has to be used every 23 hours every single day or it will NOT work! No hard to do, Just have to remember to do it! On top of that Making sure All are behaving! LOL! DH doing or making sure he's NOT doing what he should or shouldn't do! AND HEARING I"M BOARD from the young CRABBIES in the house! Then there are the 2 barksters that want to YAK at night & keep me awake! YIKES when am I supposed to sleep!!!! I'll do it!

    So ON to the others at the Beachy....

    DREAM.....((((HUGS)))) to you & all your up against....May the irons in the Fire for treatments ignite within you the power to make some healing possible for you! May mission Impossible become Mission Possible! When Does this All Unfold?????

    FAITH.....Kitties in the Bag IS so tempting to find out what things are like when they are out of the BAG!!!! Waiting on KITTY ANTICS to BEGIN!!!!! May the New Year come in with a Big Bang!

    SPAR.....Loving your Colorful Poetry on the Beach!!! Thanks for Being There for Me!!! I hope all is well in Grand Ma Mode this weekend!!!

    LC.....I'm loving your wonderful Tropical Delights!!!

    Mary Lou.....I'm glad you let us Know All is just wave Crashing Busy on your End of the Beach!!!

    May you have fun with your Family this weekend!

    Sharon.....How about we get you a New Boat for Christmas.......

     Comes complete with a few Boat Cabana Boys so you can rest your Arms.

    FOOTIE......a Small View of a Bronzed Back for you above in boat....Wink! ((((HUGS)))) 

    It's good to see you all frolicking in the Sun, Sand, & Sea! Waving to All from A to Z....

    It's Christmas Cookie time at my Cabana Hut on Beach Julz Street end of the Beach!!!

    Hugs Julz.  It's harder sometimes to be the caregiver than to be the one needing the TLC.  Good luck with your appt. on the 23rd.  I don't know what a CNA is but I don't think lowly should likely be used in the same sentence Kiss

    C ~ Certified

    N ~ Nursing

    A ~ Assistant

    We do all the ADL's ~ activities of daily living duties. Any thing you or I do in a day to survive. Wash, Dress, Feed, Toilet, & so on.....That some one can't do for them selves. I also do weights, blood pressures, temps, pulse, respirations. I lend an Ear & give Hugs. I see ppl through their final days on Earth & care for them after they have passed. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love my job, I work with the Elderly & Rehab. I really have missed my residents since I have been out. It's very hard, demanding & challenging. Very rewarding too!

    A beach, nice warm sun, warm breezes ... would feel so great right about now. looking outside to see about two feet of snow and ice. Ack!

    This will definitely be a nice place to escape to as I travel through my dx journey.

    Welcome Nana!! Here are some flip-flops for your use during visits:

    Is Dearborn Heights near Dearborn? The museum? I just made two trips up to MI in the last month or so. Stay warm.

    We're having a lovely evening at home -- wrapping presents.

    hello, all beach friends.  Welcome Nana, hope you enjoy the relaxation of the beach.  It has been busy around my house so no computer time until now.  With grandkids, shopping, baking, it has been busy.  Hope everyone is ready for the big day Thursday.  I still have to do the grocery shopping tomorrow for the Turkey and trimmings.  We are going to my daughters house since our house is still not finished.  Have missed everyone

    Julz, be a kind nurse, don't lose patience.  Did you get your cookies done.

    Faith, when do we get to know what is in that bag with the kitty?

    Lisa, flower is beautiful

    Sharon love your water exercise and spa therapy, makes me wanna do it NOW!  AFTER the brunch.

    Oh Spar, I LOVE the shell candles.  They are too pretty to burn.

    Julz, I really like the "white" Christmas cartoon.  Too funny.

    HI beachie-kids!! Big days for everyone. I'm just now turning on the computer for the first time today: WOW.

    We made it to church & then I went straight from there, to my recording studio.... we're coming down the home stretch on this recording project and this week will be all about adding the sound effects. It's so much fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!

    All the recent posts are gorgous. I love the big fat tree with all the little glowing lights of bright colors.

    Must go get to work!!

    Love to each and all.

    Faith, I have another box of ribbons on the way to you.  When you get it all finished I would love to see a picture to show my daughter, she has donated all the ribbon for the boxes I have sent. Hope all goes good with your project.

    Foots is our special footprintangel, sending you hugs.

    Julz, sure wanted those cookies, we would run out of propane with a temp of 22. 

    Sharon, glad you liked those candles.  There are some pretty cool beach candles. 

    Jaz, if your reading, thank you so much for popping in and hope you do it a whole lot more.

    LC, wake up your nap is over and footprintangel is wanting to have a Christmas party on the beach.  I think she would be happy with just some cabana boys though.

    Nana, are you going to stick around and have a relaxing beach Christmas with us?

    We will start with some beach flowers, we will have to find some Christmas vases to put them in

    Red Vases GM 9553637Pair Green ArtMurano Glass Vasesgreen floral vases

    I think these will work, we also will need candles

    Christmas Candleschristmas candleschristmas-candles.gif

    These will probably work.  Foots, I will let Julz find the cabana boys, I am not very good at that.

    I bet sharon can find us a table of food and maybe Faith can get the drinks.  We already have that Christmas tree on the beach.  Sharon had found some chairs earlier I bet they would work.
