Christmas around the house. December 14, 2021
Hello friend!
I hope all is well, in your world today!
I told Mr. Wonderful that I was going to write a blog post, this evening. He asked what I was going to write about and I said “I have no idea!”
You’ve listened to me talk about Christmas decor and classes, stocking stuffers and clothing arrivals, for weeks now, it seems! So, since I’m out of ideas, I thought I’d show you my attempt at Christmas decor, right her at home.
Compared to the design stars of Instagram, my efforts are pretty sparse. But Andrew and Nina will be home for Christmas, so for me, this is a pretty big effort! 🙂
But I’m ok with it all. The most important thing to me is to have a welcoming, peaceful home, for the kids to relax in.
I’m reminding myself that Jesus is the reason for the season. I also know that the best gift I can give my family is my loving support. I want my son to put his head down on his pillow each night, in his old room and know that I’m so proud of him and the journey he is walking.
That’s what I want both of my kids to know. That they have my unconditional love, this Christmas and every day of the year. Am I always successful at this? Probably not, but I’ll keep trying.
I’m sending you wishes for peace and love, throughout the season!
P.S.: We’re open an extra day this week and next. Wednesday through Sunday, 11:30 until 4:30.
You always bring such a wonderful smile to my face. Thanks for sharing your thoughts….they are truly genuine. Happy Holidays from our home to yours,
Love Stephanie Walls
Thanks, Stephanie! That makes me so happy to hear! It’s the connection with people like you, that make everything I do, worthwhile!
What a Wonderful Post! Thank You! I was just praying about my two adult Children. What I wish for them, wish for their families. What I really want to Gift them and to leave for them. What I want them to know for the rest of their lives and pass down to their families. My Unconditional Love and Support.
I was diagnose with Liver Cancer a year ago. Before, because of Liver Disease, I had been getting MIR scans every six months to watch for any growth of Cancer. The call came. I am so thankful for my Doctor that stayed on top of it. I had Direct Chemo shot at the tumors. Thank You Oregon Health & Science University Hospital. It knocked the Cancer Tumors down and having Scans and Labs every three months now, the Liver Team is staying on top of everything. I am still on the Oregon Liver Transplant List, but since my Liver is still functional, I am way down on the List, which is fine because I know others need a liver the most. At the time, our Beautiful Daughter in Love was pregnant. I wondered if I was be alive to see our new Grandson. What would Steven and his Sister (auntie) tell him about me. What could I leave to him to know me. I know now how to but it into Words. I want to Thank You for your post. It meant the world to me. Tell Mr. Wonderful that even when we don’t know what to write about, the Words will come where we least expect them to and how they might touch someones heart that needs to read it. God Bless You and Yours. Faith
Oh my goodness, Faith! Thank you for your kind words. You have been through so much! I pray that you stay healthy for many years to come! You are such a beautiful writer! Have you thought about starting a journal, to tell them about yourself and what you live for? It sounds like you have a wonderful support system and the best doctors. I hope that you’ll feel God’s loving arms around you, through it all!
Best wishes, Barbara
