Two Different Things To Lace Together 12/7/2024

 Good Morning,

The Door County Candy Cane Coffee resting next to me is very hot and tasty. It is time to write. 

Today in the United States we observe a somber day. December 7th 1941 was the day that the United States was attacked by Japan and we were drawn into World War Two. I had uncles who fought in WW II. So I bow my head and  honor those who fought and lost their lives that day. As long as I live I will always observe this day with sadness in my heart. 

Now my second thought of the day is happier. Yesterday I went in search of a new artificial Christmas tree. In the process of assembling the one we purchased twenty years ago, I noticed that some of the lighting wires were cracking. So off I went from store to store looking for one that I could bring home and not let my wife down. I found one and it was a good deal, so the purchase was made. 

Yesterday, later in the afternoon we started the assembly and the decorating of the tree. It is 90% complete. Some button garland will be added tonight. It did me good to see my wife decorating the tree. It was just a few weeks ago that she was ill and could not have done this type of work even if you paid her to. She tackled the job like a linebacker on a old slow running back. 

So I praise God for showing me the cracked wiring. I praise God for healing her up. And I praise God for Christmas. My Christmas present this year came to me on a ladder. 

Psalm 107:1 O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for his steadfast love endures forever. 

Have a great day!'

Marty
