What I Got For Christmas

Hi everybody, and Merry Christmas!!! I hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas day today. Enjoying your delicious dinner, family, friends, drinking egg nog, and unwrapping those nice Christmas presents. Here's what I unwrapped for my Christmas gifts: My mom & dad got me a nice outfit, very pretty and a gift card of a pretty nice amount on it. Yay, I love that. My son got me a bath & beauty set, which I love, he surprised me with that one. Oh yeah I almost forgot, my father got me a calligraphy kit, and some cookie decorating and baking things. My daddy loves me. Of course you may not know that I am a daddy's girl. He knows that I like trying new things, so that calligraphy set is right up my alley. I also got myself the movie "This Christmas", and "Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian", and my parents got the movie "Batman the Dark Night". We are going to have a pretty busy movie night watching all those movies. I can't wait, I'm so excited. So today I had a great time. My sister and brother and their families came over and it was a pretty full house. No snow was no where in sight. It was actually about 71 degrees today in S.C. My mother says that we probably will get snow sometime in January. As always I'm going to miss Christmas, ever since I was a little girl. So now I console myself with the fact that I have a whole year to look forward to it again. I will begin getting my gifts together for Christmas 2009, starting after the 3rd week in January. That way, I'll difinitely have a head start on my gift giving. How smart is that, right? My birthday Is this Monday coming, and I look forward to celebrating it. My one request, and there are others, but this particular one is really simple. I'd like to eat breakfast at IHOP. What a wonderful place, the food there is really great. So that's what I got for Christmas, and I appreciate every bit of it. I can truly say this was a great day for me. In our daily life and daily living, rememer to have fun, don't worry about things we cannot change, but just go with the flow and live in freedom and peace, let's look forward to doing that for the coming year. That's what life is really all about. -For the soldiers who are away from their families this Christmas, I hope you have had a blessed Christmas.- "I am praying for you my soldiers, I am praying for you my brothers & sisters, I am praying for you my sons & daughters, I am praying for you my moms & dads: May the Lord protect you and comfort you throughout everyday of your life, I pray that the Lord will bring you home safely where you belong. We love you, and thank God for you and what you are sacraficing for your country. I can not repay you for eveything you have given up, but I can repay you with something-I can repay with a prayer. May God always be with you and His angels to protect you. God bless you men & women of honor-hurry home." Everyone and may you all have a blessed and prosperous New Year. In everything we do, let us give thanks to God. So that is everything I got for Christmas, including the most important gift of all, Jesus-the Son of God. What did you get for Christmas? I hope you all had a Merry day. Treasure Ann

Christmas Prayer Requests

I want to pray for anyone who has a prayer request. Why? Well, because everyone can use the extra help. Plus it doesn't hurt a bit, it's actually pain free. How about that? I'm game for pain free, and as along as it doesn't hurt anyone else either, prayer has my vote.

My prayer request for this season is that I can be in good health. You see sometimes my left foot tends to hurt and I want to be pain free from that. So I'm believing God to heal me from that. Not much the doctors can do except prescribe pain medicine. So I'm believing that it is going to get better.

So is there anybody that would love for me to pray for them, I am so happy to do it. Just leave your prayer request in the comment. If you don't want to leave it there, I'd be happy to except your prayer request via e-mail. You can e-mail your prayer request to confide7@verizon.net.

There are other situations I am praying about that I can't really mention in my post, but I do desire your prayers that they will work out and things can be restored. Thank you so much. As I pray with you in agreement that God will move on your behalf of your prayer request, I'm having faith that God will come through for you. I also like to hear any testimonies or results of answered prayers. This will encourage others as well to believe and have faith that God can do it. By your faith, God can do it.

"...For truly I (Jesus) say to you, if you have faith [that is living] like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, move from here to yonder place, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you."
Matthew 17:20 (Amplified Version)

What Jesus meant in that particular verse, is that if you have even a little faith in Him, He can work with that, and that nothing is impossible for Him if you believe that He can do that what you request. It doesn't mean literally mountains, but no matter how big your problem is-He can take care of it. We may not see our prayers answered right a way, but it will be answered, if we continue to have faith in Christ. Some people see their prayers answered right away, days later, weeks later, months or even sometimes it might be years. It depends on how strong our faith is. We must have hope, and even when it seems hard and we can't bare anymore struggles-we can't give up.

So if you have a prayer request, I would love to pray with you and for you. What's your request? Let's believe God together for the answer.

Have fun this Christmas, and keep hoping and have faith, 'for nothing is impossible for God, to those who trust Him.'
