"A DECEMBER DRINK"

My  B-I-B-L-E  is  maroon  in  color.

It is my third  TBN  Bible.   I  love  it

because  it  has  the  King  James  Version

and  the  New  Living  Translation.


I  do  not  like  New  Year's  Resolutions

but  this  year  I  am  exchanging  worry

for  PURPOSE.


When  I  feel  worry  dancing  around  me,

and  believe  me,  I  have  made  worry  an

art.   I  have  a  worry  centerpiece  for  the

table  and  worry  dishes.   I  do  worry  up

good.   I  even  have  my  own  worry  song,

"WOE  IS  ME!"


This  2013,  if  I  feel  worry  dancing  around 

me,  I  am  not  going  to  dust  off  my 

worry  centerpiece  but  I  will  seek

PURPOSE.


I  have  a  list  of  people  to  pray  for.

I  have  a  list  of  shut-ins  I  will  call

and  send  a  card  too...brighten  someone's

day.   I  will  blog,  with  the  most

wonderful  people.


He  that  hath  no  rule  over  his  own

spirit  is  like  a  city  that  is  broken 

down,  and  without  walls.

~PROVERBS  25: 28


Pay  attention,  my  child,  to  what  I

say.  Listen  carefully.

21.  Don't  lose  sight  of  my  words.

Let  them  penetrate  deep 

within  your  heart.

22.  for  they  bring  life  and  radiant

health  to  anyone  who  dis-

covers  their  meaning.

23.     Above  all  else,  guard   your

heart,  for  it  affects  

everything  you  do."

~PROVERBS  4: 20-23



I  just  love  reading  GOD'S  Holy

word.   It  brings  me  comfort.


I  LOVE  DIET  PEPSI.  It  is  my  very

favorite  drink  next  to  water.   We  have

a  coca  cola  chest  machine  that  we

keep  all  our  pop  in.


My  husband  will  go  to  the  kitchen

and  ask  me,  if  he  can  buy  me  a

pop!   OVER  THE  PAST  TWO  DAYS,

THE  POP  HAS  TASTED  HORRIBLE...YUCKY.

I  DISCOVERED  THEY  EXPIRED  IN

NOVEMBER!!!!!

So  last  night  he  ask  me  if  he  could

buy  me  a  pop?   I  LOOKED  AT  HIM

AND  SAID,  "IF  YOU  BRING  ME  A

DECEMBER  DRINK!!!

We  had  discovered  in  checking  the  rest

of  the  bottles,  that  6  expired  in

November  and  6  on  December  31,  2012.



PLEASE  REMEMBER  TO  PRAY  FOR

BEAUTIFUL  REBECCA  AT  A  GATHERING

PLACE.   I  CAN'T  IMAGINE  THERE  IS  ANY-

ONE  THAT  DOES  NOT  KNOW  HER  EITHER

THROUGH  HER  BLOGGING,  GORGEOUS

GIVE-AWAYS  OR  PURCHASED  HER

WORKS  OF  ART.

SHE  HAD  SURGERY  ON  BOTH  HANDS

AND  SHE  IS  DEPENDENT  ON  HER 

HUSBAND,  STEVE  AND  BEAUTIFUL 

DAUGHTER  TO  NUTURE  HER..

THIS  IS  VERY  HARD  ON  REBECCA,

FIRST  BECAUSE  THAT  IS  HOW  SHE

MAKES  HER  INCOME  AND  SECOND

SHE  LOVES  WHAT  SHE  DOES  AND  SHE

LOVES  STAYING  BUSY.

WE  LOVE  YOU  REBECCA.   GET  WELL

SOON.  I  KNOW  THAT  MISS  K  WILL

BE  STAYING  CLOSE  BY  YOUR  SIDE.

SHE  HAS  SUCH  A  COMPASSIONATE

SPIRIT.


I  WISH  YOU  ALL  A  VERY  HAPPY  AND

HEALTHY  NEW  YEAR.  I  SO  APPRECIATE

EACH  ONE  OF  YOU  FOR  VISITING  ME,

AND  E-MAILING  ME.


HUGS  AND  PRAYERS
Simply  Debbie

Dear Debbie,

I love your post on worry - someone once told me that faith is the opposite of worry for faith allows us to let go of what is troubling us and release it to God - not easy to do, but I am going to try to do less worrying this year.

I love that you are posting more - you write so beautifully and I enjoy your posts.
Wishing you and your family a Joyful and Healthy New Year (and one where we can all worry less and let God.

Hugs and Blessings,
Erin

Thanks so much, Debbie, for the bit about Rebecca- I know how awful it is for her and I am praying for her, too. I love that your hubby "buys" you a soda pop...but you DO need one that hasn't expired!

I like your new word, too. Purpose. It sounds good to me! Blessings and Happy New Year- xo Diana
