Oh give me a home

where the buffalo roam 

the deer

and the antelope play

where seldom is heard

a discouraging word

which way is it to the pear tree 

Thank you and god bless

This Moment

"A single photo – no words – capturing a simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember."

“This Moment” is a ritual found on Life inspired by the Wee Man adopted fromSouleMama which was introduced to me by Sarah-Jane. If you find yourself touched by a Moment and would like to participate, post your picture on a Friday and leave your link in the comments section.

Do you see what I see

Have you ever been asks to look a cloud and see that its shape is…? It is not clear to you but to the person asking, they have seen a wonderful site.

 Last night as I was going off to bed, I was trying to think of what too write today. I have been writing and thinking about ways to put Christ back in Christmas. Last night in my sleep it came to me that I am not. He said that the kingdom of Heaven would come like a thief in the night. What is Santa Claus but a thief in the night coming into our homes and leaving presents under a tree? The moment you are given a present you feel the joy of the kingdom of heaven, the joy of having someone open the gift you gave them. Put back Christ in Christmas? He has never left. Children receive forgiveness for their wrong doings. They receive the love of family and friends. We all receive this on Christmas day. For a moment we are in heaven. It is his way to teach and prepare us for the coming of heaven. He taught using parables, is this not another? We thank our love ones for the gifts they give us. John said if you have two mules give one to someone who has none. For the kingdom of god is at hand. 

If you do not see, what I see in the clouds that is ok. You are not looking with my eyes. Have a very merry Christmas!!! Thank you for the gift of sharing mine. Merry Christmas!

Thank you and god bless

More gift ideas just maybe

Well! If you're going to go hunting for a grizzly bar you'd better know what one looks like. Well maybe I can help? I have seen one or two I my days. 

A gift it's something that is given! It is given without strings but a ribbon and bow would be nice! It 'not always something that you can buy, put or hold in your hand. A gift is not the bait you go fishing with.

 Sometimes it's the thought, now I like thinking although it can be a bit of a chore at times, and I really would not want to make someone work. Now then I am not the boss and I'm no slave master either. 

Neither is a gift! I hear you say it's a Christmas gift and I'm going to tell it's not, it's a birthday gift! I see a lot of parties but it seem them partier forget just who's birthday it is. 


Giving gifts is the greatest joy I have ever known. The greatest gift is giving of myself to you. I don't have to rap it; it comes already too rap you with a great big grizzly bar hug, a smile for a ribbon and a big kiss for a bow. 

Well it's getting a bit cold; it looks like snow, so I have built a fire in my heart so if you huddle around it you can get warm. 

Hey!!! Mouse put up that Winchester!! Those reindeer are just too fast. I saw a turkey over there in the thicket! And there's a hog hanging in the smoke house!! Ya! I see them there reindeer tracks what do you want? Reindeer track soup for Christmas dinner! Ya! Ya! I know more reindeer tracks! >>>> >>>> >>>>


I hope this helps with the Christmas gift hunting. say you could give your family a copy of Andre the squirrel and the Christmas gift, just click on the cover over there on the right and you can order one or two.


Thank you for coming by and god bless and have a Merry Christmas
