Chitchat thread #24

Hi All,
To all Christians on the forum God Bless you all and as for remembering All Saints Day I now know that it is a deeply emotive day for those who are stronger Christians than myself. I do believe in God and say prayers I thank God for every day I exist and ask for his protection of my family and all believers no matter where they are on the planet.

I realised a few years ago that God exists after reading ( FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND ) what I thought originally was a psalm but learnt later it was just a poem. I looked at certain events that occurred through my life where I should definitely passed from this life to the next and the following lines struck home.

So I said to the Lord, “You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?”

God bless you all.

Geoff.

Evening all, hope all went well at the hospital Flo. I was at hospital today too for treatment and have been told unless I want to miss a treatment my next one will be Christmas Eve! Decided to go for it so Happy Christmas to me😄
Still struggling for gift ideas for daughter and granddaughter add to that my daughter and son in law are both 40 just after Christmas so it’s win win all the way!!
Happier news is we have our family visiting for a week soon so really looking forward to it. Granddaughter excited about visiting Scotland as we have snow…think she may be disappointed.
Anyone got their Christmas tree up yet? I’ve seen a few already seems to be getting earlier and earlier every year.
Anyhoo heading off to bed, catch you all tomorrow. x

Morning, it’s usually me that’s late on parade, is everyone having a long lie?
It’s a very icy -2° at the moment. Heating on and on the hunt for coffee.
See you all later, have a great day x

Morning all.

Yes, a bit late on parade but I was up earlier, promise. Though not as early as Mr Snoop as he brought me tea in bed.

Final morning of land works for us. Had a lovely lunch with the digger driver yesterday, another one on the cards today before he moves on to the neighbours.

The house is feeling very homely now. Mr Snoop wanted a break from the works, so even though there's still quite a lot to do, we've just moved furniture about and someone gave us an old-fashioned telly for watching DVDs on. For you, it'll seem very humdrum but for us, sitting on a sofa watching a film on telly is quite a novelty. Mr Snoop has even been talking about a Christmas tree despite the fact that he disapproves of them. We have some very small pines growing in daft places that would do, but I think Missy would just destroy it. Mind you, the smiles would like it. Anyway, something to think about.

Have a great day, everyone.

Mornin n’alln’all
Calm and sunny here. Deffo a day for gardening.
I’ll need to start sorting out my craft materials soon too as they are spread throughout the house! Then, hopefully, next week we’ll be putting up the decorations.

Funnily Snoop, Hibou has never been tempted to climb any of our Xmas trees, but previous ones have. She tends to play hockey though with anything which has fallen off!
A previous cat used to love sitting under the tree just under a bell , so everytime she twitched an ear , the bell would tinkle. She’s long gone, but I still caringly hang a couple of bells on the lowest branches in her memory. ( what a softie )

Lottie!…a new man?…..how exciting for you xx

And on that merry thought, I best crack on with ‘stuff’

Enjoy your day peeps.
