Piano, Christmas, Grandpa

Check out this Piano Guys song, Angels We Have Heard On High..... If you've  never seen these guys play, it's amazing!  They are now on tour.  I bet they're fantastic to watch in concert.

This is a hoot.

Check this out.  Have you ever seen anyone play the piano upside-down?

It's so sad how little by little things are being taken away from us.  Christmas does begin with Christ, and Christ is the reason we have Christmas.  Why can't people GET that!?  We're being told Happy Holidays because people might get offended if we say Merry Christmas and they don't celebrate Christmas.  Sorry, but if you are that upset by words, you need to grow up and get thicker skin.  We've put up with so much from those people that we are losing our freedom of speech.  I for one will continue to say Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas everyone!
We have far more pressing issues than this to fight about.

 I've always loved this picture.  Check out what was with it today on FB.

My dear precious Jesus, I did not mean to take your place,

I only bring toys and things and you bring love and grace.

People give me lists of wishes and hope that they came true;

But you hear prayers of the heart and promise your will to do.

Children try to be good and not to cry when I am coming to town;

But you love them unconditionally and that love will abound.

I leave only a bag of toys and temporary joy for a season;

But you leave a heart of love, full of purpose and reasons.

I have a lot of believers and what one might call fame;

But I never healed the blind or tried to help the lame.

I have rosy cheeks and a voice full of laughter;

But no nail—scarred hands or a promise of the hereafter.

You may find several of me in town or at a mall;

But there is only one omnipotent you, to answer a sinner’s call.

And so, my dear precious Jesus, I kneel here to pray;

To worship and adore you on this, your holy birthday.

Here is a card that I made for Wednesday's sketch challenge and Tuesdays teapotter's challenge.  It will go to a woman who has lost a father and brother within a week of each other.

Here's a picture of Tim's dad with Ben and Rachel.  So glad he was there. He and Ben have a special relationship.

One more day at school before Christmas vacation.  Don't know who is more excited the kids or staff!

Blessing of the Day: Helping Emily with students.  Kids took a math test today and NO ONE got below a B! 

Thanks for stopping by,

Blessings,
