At My Place: Christmas Coming Too Fast?

I've been a semi-invalid for about six of the expected 8 weeks. A week and a half should mean I'm done with moving about gingerly and mostly sitting in my recliner, doing prayer journalling and some work, but frustrated with how little I've done about gifts or even Christmas letters.

I've resigned myself now to the fact I will not get any shopping for gifts done. But I did hope to get a Christmas letter finished and offer a free download for a token gift.

Well, I got a good draft of the letter on Sunday, but then my printer balked. I may not get it resolved until well into January. (Sigh! I have other agendas for my new year!)

Is Christmas coming up too fast for YOU as well?

I've concluded that I may as well enjoy whatever happens over the days ahead, and set a new goal to send out my letters when they are ready. Most folks are glad to get letters any day of the year.

I'll plot for nice gifts to make all through the year so I'll be ready well before the 3rd week of December 2026.

I may even give them well ahead of the 25th so they will be really surprised!

All that Violence in the News!

In recent weeks I've seen warnings that a great catastrophe is coming soon.

I asked myself offhandedly, "You mean the end of the world?" and shrugged it off.

However, last night I watched a YouTube video before shutting down for the night. It was about how Ukraine had found the bunker in Russia where Putin was hiding out.. They bombed it hard.

Today I saw a couple more videos and it seems that the Ukrainians had found the main bunker where Putin himself and his top officials were hiding! It was bombed quite hard, also several other locations!

It appears other European nations are at it with Ukraine. Russia seems to falling in a big collapse!

I feel badly for the innocent people who may be killed, but I am glad to see this war is about to end!

<*> TIPS & SOLUTIONS: <*>
I Pray the Father Will Give YOU
a Blessed Christmas Week. . . .

Good fellowship with your loved ones . . and a sweet assurance that you are precious in His sight, and He is with you in everything that you experience!

May you know that you are an Heir of our Father-God - and the the Great Reunion when we all arrive in His House will be a non-stop celebration for a long, long time!

P.S.
As per my tradition I spend the last week of December updating my files, passwords, etc. So there will be no RoseBouquet issues next Tuesday. Dec. 30th.

Watch for it again on January 6th, 2026..
