Happy birthday. Praise the Lord you are able to share it with your children.

I pray that we always remember what we have to be thankful for.

THANKFUL - Josh Groban


Somedays, we forget to look around us,
Somedays, we can't see the joy that surrounds us,
so caught up inside ourselves,
we take when we should give,
so for tonight we pray for,
what we know can be,
and on this day we hope for,
what we still can't see,
It's up to us, to be the change,
and even though we all can still do more,
there's so much to be thankful for,
look beyond ourselves,
there's so much sorrow,
it's way to late to say, I'll cry tomorrow
each of us must find our truth,
it's so long overdue,
so for tonight we pray for,
what we know can be,
and everyday, we hope for,
what we still can't see,
it's up to us, to be the change,
and even though we all can still do more,
there's so much to be thankful for,
even with our differences,
there is a place WE'RE all connected,
each of us can find each others light,
So for tonight, we pray for
what we know can be,
and on this day, we hope for,
what we still can't see,
it's up to us, to be the change,
and even though this world NEEDS so much more
there's so much to be thankful for.

"Salzburger Volkslieder"
Aus Salzburg, 1819

Still, still, still,
Weil's Kindlein schlafen will.
Die Englein tun schön jubilieren,
Bei dem Kripplein musizieren.
Still, still, still,
Weil's Kindlein schlafen will.

Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf,
Mein liebes Kindlein schlaf!
Maria tut dich niedersingen
Und ihr treues Herz darbringen.
Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf,
Mein liebes Kindlein schlaf!

Groß, groß, groß
Die Lieb ist übergroß!
Gott hat den Himmelsthron verlassen
Und muss reisen auf der Straßen.
Groß, groß, groß
Die Lieb' ist übergroß.

Wir, wir, wir,
Tun rufen all zu dir:
Tu uns des Himmels Reich aufschließen,
Wenn wir einmal sterben müssen.
Wir, wir, wir,
Wir rufen all zu dir.


Still, still, still
From Salzburg, 1819
Literal English translation - HF

Still, still, still,
'Cause baby wants to sleep.
The angels jubilate beautifully,
By the manger making music.
Still, still, still,
'Cause baby wants to sleep.

Sleep, sleep, sleep,
My dear babe sleep!
Maria sings you a lullaby
And brings you her true heart.
Sleep, sleep, sleep,
My dear babe sleep!

Great, great, great,
The love is more than great!
God has left his throne
And must go by road.
Great, great, great,
The love is more than great.

We, we, we,
All do call out to you:
Open heaven's realm to us,
If we must die one day.
We, we, we,
We all call out to you.

The reason for the season.

For me, the reason for the season is more about my friends and family than it is about either Jesus or Santa. Not saying that anyone else can't have whatever reasons they want. Just that those are mine. I really love the friends and family that I spend the holidays with and I'm happy that I have them (botht the friends and the holidays). Being able to spend time with those people makes me happier. And I think that's a good thing. happy


And I hope you have a wonderful time enjoying the company of family and friends and sharing and making happy memories. You mentioned 'time' and that is one of the best gifts you can give to another.

Why are witches (or others involved in the occult by whatever name) viewed up so much more harshly than other "sinners". Why do many Christians (please note, I said "many" and not "all") hold these people in greater contempt than someone who is having sex outside of marriage? Or who is gay?

This is not a Christian bashing thread. I would appreciate all responses to be respectful. But, this has been my experience with Christians and I am wondering why. What is it about my being a witch that causes such a reaction from Christians?


I do not really know because I have not personally known Christians that are like that. If I had, I may well have questioned them as to why.

I am aware that some people who are very religious can be judgemental, but then I have found that those without any faith to be the harshest and most judgemental to others.

SILENT NIGHT 2002

SILENT NIGHT is based on a true story about a young mother (Linda Hamilton) and son who find shelter in a cabin in Germany on Christmas Eve of 1944. However, soon she finds that three German soldiers and three American soldiers also need a place to spend the night, and she manages to forge a temporary peace between the opposing soldiers to enjoy a peaceful Christmas eve dinner.



---

I saw this movie last evening, although I did not get to see it from the beginning it was a though provoking movie and very well played out. Linda played a great role as the brave young movie living a life of hope in spite of the cruelty of the Nazi regime.

This morning when the pastor at church made a reference about 'when hope and fear collides' it bought this movie back to mind. Indeed, it certainly did give a very clear image of hope and fear; the hope displayed by the young mom and the fear as the soldiers from opposing sides clash, but slowly through the bravery and boldness of 'Elizabeth' the solder's defences are laid aside as they get to know one another over a simple Christmas eve meal.

do your parents still ask you if you've found anyone yet? Does your family question you lifestyle?

What about kids - those adults that just can't imagine their parents "dating" much less having sex?

How do handle these situations?


1. No, to both of the first two questions. She waits for me to mention it first and has done that through my adult life. She is happy I have found someone special.

I do not have children.

:smile: I have always thought that people who are "angry at god" are silly.:smile: They need to be angry at who is REALLY to blame: humans.:smile:


Thats the position that most angry Atheists take. They dont believe in god so they dont level any blame on that. They point the finger directly at those who choose to believe in god and kill, torture, imprison and abuse in his name.


Then it is time for them to stop blaming innocent Christians, who do not do that and have no part in it.

They seem to raise very little protest when it is people of other religions that do the same kind of atrocities.

"Some people want to think for ourselves, and figure out right from wrong for ourselves. are angered by religious ignorance and bigotry for ourselves. some of us want to maximise this life and the quality of this world."


One can be a Christian and feel the same way, you know. I am one of those people.



Well put Winx.
I get quite fed up with the atheists who want to push their ideas on to the rest of the world.

And there is nothing wrong with sharing that opinion. I like the pic - and the santa hat.

I have noticed you have offered some pretty sound advice and thinking in many of your posts.

I have not personally experienced that kind of teaching so I don't know to what degree it exists.

I consider myself simply a believer rather than belonging to a particular denomination. So through my faith I have a strong belief that I am responsible for the choices I make and for my 'Christian walk'.

I find that to be true from friends and others that I have met through the years, who have other 'faith-based' or religious beliefs than myself.


I wish you a very Happy Holiday.

Give me Your Eyes - Brandon Heath

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGr8as7pPBE&feature=related

Looked down from a broken sky
Traced out by the city lights
My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight
Touched down on the cold black tile
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos
All those people going somewhere?
Why have I never cared?
Chorus:
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the once forgotten
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
Step out on a busy street
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me
To hide whats underneath
Theres a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
Hes out of work
Hes buying time
all those people going somewhere?
Why have I never cared?
Chorus
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the once forgotten
yeah
yeah
yeah
yeah
Ive Been there a million times
A couple of million eyes
just move and pass me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong
Well I want a second glance
So give me a second chance
To see the way you see the people all alone
Chorus (x2)
