"Life is lived forward, but understood backward. It is not until we are down the road and we stand on the mountain looking back through the valley that we can appreciate the terrain God has allowed us to scale.” Jill Savage

I get a new knee today . . . I won't be able to write back or read your blogs for awhile, but I'll be back. . . Merry Christmas!
Jesus is Better than Santa
Santa lives at the North Pole.
JESUS is everywhere.
Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.
Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever present help.
Santa fills your stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs.
Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. and then enters your heart.
You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.
Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.
Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?"
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.
Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly
JESUS has a heart full of love.
All Santa can offer is HO HO HO
JESUS offers health, help and hope.
Santa says "You better not cry"
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.
Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.
Santa may make you chuckle but
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.
While Santa puts gifts under your tree
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.
It's obvious there is really no comparison.
We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.
We need to put Christ back in Christmas.
Jesus is still the reason for the season.
May the Lord Bless and Watch over you and your loved ones this Christmas 2010 And may He prosper and bless the work of your hands in the New Year.
Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is a whole clich, but your attitude is going to determine how youre going to live your life.- Joel Osteen
I LOVE YOU ALL, SANDIE

Ohhhhh, Sandie....Today is the surgery? Going to put you right into my prayers....NOW....and ask the Lord to guide the hands of the surgeon....also for a fast recovery and recuperation.

I hope all goes well with your procedure. My mother-in-law's operation went much better than expected, and she will get to leave the hospital in the morning (actually, this morning, now) unless some unforeseen complication rears its ugly head/
Oh, Sandie, I will keep you in my prayers! I know you will enjoy that new knee after your recovery. Wishing you and yours a blessed Christmas full of love and joy and peace and comfort. Hugs ~ Tanna

Merry Christmas to you sweet Sandie, hope you heal fast and your days in bed are few. I will continue to pray for a speedy and complication free recovery.

I loved this post!
I'm picking Jesus EVERY time. He doesn't wear a gaudy old red suit - He just wears the red of His blood, shed for the sins of the world. AWESOME!!
Hope you're doing well - miss you!
GOD BLESS!
Speedy Recovery!!!
GET WELL SOON! Now you are a bionic woman!
Merry Christmas to you too sweetie. Holding only positive, fast healing, no problem and good thoughts for your surgery! love and hugs...
