Christmas Season Once Again by Roy Star


We are once again in the Christmas Season. Depending on where you are located, the temperature may range from 85 degrees to subzero degrees.

We know the North Pole is cold. Santa always wears his red coat, black boots, and red cap to stay warm. Mrs. Claus has the hot chocolate with marshmallows ready for when Santa arrives home from a long hard day building toys with his elves. The factory is in full production during December.

There are the letters to answer and reindeer to feed and so much more to do. All for one day and one big sleigh ride. Fortunately, Santa’s magic still works.

Santa always stops at Bethlehem each year to see the Baby Jesus laying in the manger. Standing next to Jesus are his Mother and Father, Mary and Joseph. Jesus is the reason for Christmas so Santa says a prayer for all the children of the world. 

Before he departs he leaves a little present for Jesus. The Wise Men presented and left with Jesus gold, frankincense and myrrh. Santa’s gift is a secret.

And then its off again with Santa calling on Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Donner, and Blitzen to take to the sky with a jolly Ho-Ho-Ho and a twinkle in his eyes.

Look up in the sky on Christmas Eve. Do you see Santa and his Reindeer flying through the air? So, this Christmas season enjoy Santa and gifts but always remember that the most important event of Christmas is the birth of the Christ child. It is Jesus who makes this season so beautiful, bright and hopeful.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night!

Get better sleep by praying by Toni Star

  The following is a wonderful article on how to get better sleep. We all need sleep; not just to feel better and more energized in the morning but to keep our bodies healthy. Not only does better sleep help you to be your best during the day but sleep actually repairs your body as you sleep. Quality sleep keeps you healthy physically and mentally. When you lose sleep, your body struggles during the day because it didn't get the rest it needed to function as it should. Your body needs rest mentally so it can prepare itself for the following day and its needs. Just recently, my husband shared with me how he gets to sleep quickly at night. As he turns over and  adjusts his head to the pillow, he quotes passages from the Bible such as Psalm 23, The Lord's Prayer and other passages from the psalms and proverbs. I tried this last night and before I knew it, I was asleep and got a wonderful night's sleep. I plan on doing this again every night. Several times in the Bible, Jesus s

Enjoy Christmas this year; put aside the virus

 This Christmas season and the Christmas season last year--2020, have been challenging, for sure!  The virus has taken away many freedoms we have held dearly and maybe have taken for granted. But,   you and I don't have to stay hostage to this virus or any virus. We can still be happy and enjoy the   season. Sure, many of us are unable to be with family and friends and that hurts; that hurts a lot.  But, when you think about the real meaning of Christmas and why so many of us celebrate it, we   can still be happy and positive and enjoy the happiness of the season.   Christians celebrate Christmas because that is when Christ was born. If Christ was never born, if   Christ never lived on this earth and was crucified, died and rose from the dead, there would be no   Christmas, there would be no laughter, hope or anything uplifting about the season we call Christmas.  Many are suffering this time of the year from the flu or other viruses and that is certainly not fun but  with Christ t

Thanksgiving at Grandma's by Toni Star

  Thanksgiving at Grandma’s by Toni Star November, then and now, signals just one thing to me, Thanksgiving at Grandma’s.  Thanksgiving at her house was paradise!  The atmosphere of food, laughter and love was wonderful and unforgettable.  Thanksgiving morning at our house was busy.  Mom would prepare a salad or pie; we kids would dress up in our good clothes and then go outside to play. We had to be careful not to get dirty.  Good clothes in our family didn’t come easy.  We weren’t poor but we were very frugal with money and food.  Meanwhile, Dad stayed busy in the garage checking out the old Chevy.  He’d check the oil, water and the battery and then give the tires a kick, for readiness.  Often, I would go into the garage from time to time to see how he was doing.  Often, he found things for me to do-such as checking the oil and water and inspecting the car battery to see if was clean and water filled to the proper level. I always felt important helping Dad, especially on holidays, wh
