Some of the things you named were some of my joy-stealers too. I had to go back Christmas morning to this post and the one that I linked to from Denise. And that in spite of the unexpected opportunity to attend a Christmas Eve service with the most encouraging, edifying message!<br /><br />I have indeed posted about my prayer journal in the past, and the posts on it have been some of the most-read on this blog! Just click on "prayer" in the label cloud to get started.<br /><br />Thanks so much, Linda, for your encouragement to me in mentioning that you enjoy each blog post. That was such a blessing to read -- as this is the main reason why I blog, to encourage other women in their walk with God.<br /><br />I hope that you and your loved ones had a wonderful Christmas!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-22352453858605753292019-12-26T09:17:16.479-05:002019-12-26T09:17:16.479-05:00I hope it was a blessing to you, Vee.

But you're right -- I needed to relax and realize that I am not in control and I can trust the One who is. I needed to be reminded too that none of this is about me in any way.<br /><br />Yes, wish lists are great. All but a few of my grands have their own specific wish lists and it does help so much. Glad you could make use of them this year!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-91588534122635927102019-12-26T09:13:23.046-05:002019-12-26T09:13:23.046-05:00There were a few kinds of cookies that didn't ...There were a few kinds of cookies that didn't get baked and at least one kitchen gift that didn't get made here, but it is okay!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-36830881175851111552019-12-26T09:12:30.218-05:002019-12-26T09:12:30.218-05:00I hope it was a blessing to you, Becki!

Then we get the important things done and the rest will come in appropriate time and order. I need this, especially at Christmas time. I am having to let go of some things that I thought I just had to do, and must concentrate on those things that really are a priority. Jesus First, Others Second, Yourself last = JOY.

"Something" has been constantly stealing my joy as I try to prepare and celebrate during this glorious season....worry over any and everything, regrets of how things use to be, fear of dreaded loneliness, unfulfilled wishes for my child, resentment from situations at work....I let myself get bogged down and, as you probably suspect, don't count my blessings, which are many..and your weekly list is always an encouragement. <br />You may have already posted about this, but, maybe in the new year, I wish you would share how your prayer journal is organized. <br />Thank you for writing in both of your blogs. I enjoy each post. <br />Merry Christmas to you and your family. <br />Blessings, Linda <br /><br /><br /><br />Linda Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214085008809031268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-57885250673474818692019-12-18T22:48:21.256-05:002019-12-18T22:48:21.256-05:00Well I shall certainly follow your link...

It's times like these when I need to relax and realize that I am not in control and that I can trust Him with what is going on. I found those Amazon wish lists very helpful this year. Of course, I am mildly confused by who wants want so some packages are marked "Wish List" and they can figure it out. ☺ Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.com
