This is a sign I bought a few years back at the Horton's store in town. I love this saying.
Ted is still on his oxygen. He seems a tiny bit better today. I pray he will be off this oxygen soon. Say in a couple weeks. His vitals have been in the right range. He still have a good appetite . Two of my daughters have dropped off groceries and gifts. It's still Christmas.
Wishing all of you well and much happiness. Begging you to be safe. XO
That is a sweet nativity, all the sweeter for it being a gift from your daughter. Be well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Terra. I just love that it's children . I use to have a wee plastic nativity years ago...wish I kept that. Blessings and Merry Christmas xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie, Sweet Nativity and I also love that saying. I'm glad that Ted is improving each day. Where would we be without our children. They are the biggest blessings. Have a wonderful Christmas and stay well..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Judy. My children have always been my best gift. Blessings and Merry Christmas. xoxo, Susie
DeleteI am so glad he is recovering!! Your daughters are a real blessing!
ReplyDeleteYes Ginny, my girls are my blessings in live. I love them and I know they love me. I am almost able to relax a bit with Ted's improving. He sure is trying. Blessings, and Merry Christmas, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI really like that quote of Dickens too.
ReplyDeleteHaving a good appetite is a good sign.
I have kept Ted feed proteins . He is a good eater, only about a half dozen things he doesn't like. LOL I have always loved Dickens' stories, especially Christmas Carol. Stay safe when walking this winter. Merry Christmas to you and yours, xoxo,blessings too, Susie
DeleteYour nativity is precious and the fact that it was a gift from your daughter makes a family treasure, for sure.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Ted is stable, here's praying that he can do without the oxygen soon.
Wishing you both a lovely little Christmas.
Hi Connie. I am glad Ted is improving, even in the tiniest bt...it makes me so hopeful. I have thought about giving the nativity to Emma one day, she is Liz's youngest child. I want to wish you a Merry Christmas . I will be praying for you . Bless your heart. xoxo,love you, Susie
DeleteMerry Christmas, Susie. I love the little Nativity scene. And I would buy that sign in a flash, and like you, will try to live out Christmas all year. Glad Ted is hanging in there, with God's grace I pray he will continue to improve, and 2021 will bring new hope for all of us.
ReplyDeleteWanda, I too wish you the very same. We all need for the new year to bring us peace and good health. Merry Christmas to you, Don and your family. Blessings, xoxo, Love Susie
DeleteAny improvement is GOOD! Thanks you for the wishes and We WISH YOU AND TED A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS, the best.
ReplyDeleteSherry & jack, just easing along.
Hi Jack and Sherry. Thank you for the wishes. I am praying for God's loving mercy to help us all thru this winter and for 2021 to be peaceful and healthy. Merry Christmas to you both and your family. xoxo, blessing Susie
DeleteI love your Nativity and the sign! Wishing you and yours a happy Christmas and new year. Praying for your Ted!
ReplyDeleteThank you Terri for your kind prayers they mean so much to us. Wishing you a joyful Christmas and a new year of peace and health. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteYour nativity is lovely. I send good wishes for you both (and healing ones for Ted, too) and hope that your holiday is beautiful in every way.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanie. I am praying for all of us to be healthy and happy thru this Christmas. Wishing you joy too. Thank you for your kind wishes. Blessings, stay safe, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI’m so grateful you are here - one year later - and you are together.....you have been on a long journey and I’m praying for this time next year to find yourselves still together and much healthier and celebrating with family! Hold on to each other.....love and prayers and many thoughts for you every day from Texas.
ReplyDeleteThank you my friend. I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and peace and health in the new year. We all could use some peaceful joy. I never thought that Ted and I would be struggling with his health after the chemo treatments had stopped in April. It's wearisome. Blessings to each and every one of you, xox,love to all, Susie
DeleteI love your Nativity set, it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd I also love the quote from Charles Dickens, I had that once on a Christmas care, I love it so.
Prayers for your Teddy, will you tell him that I am thinking of him? Thank you!
If you look at my blog, you will see a photo of children in a Nativity play. That's my Richard being Joseph, he was very tall even as a child.
Merry Christmas. Hugs!!
Hi Kay, I hope all is well there with you and yours. Thank you for the prayers, they are so welcomed. I will come see your big boy in the play. LOL Blessing and Christmas wishes, xoxo, love Susie
DeleteSusie, you ALWAYS have had Christmas in your heart ever since I've "known" you...Merry Christmas, and tay safe and healthy, my friend...:)jp
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Ted's health at this time has made it rough, but I just keep praying. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Blessings always, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie- Your Children Nativity Scene is very nice...ours is made of ceramic and it is a real beauty- I put it out each Christmas and Chris adds the Star Light over the Manger. Merry Christmas to you Susie and Tom.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think you meant Ted...but I have brother Tom. :) I love that people cherish their nativity scenes. Blessings and a Merry Christmas to you and Chris. xoxo, Susie
DeleteVery pretty! I pray that the oxygen will make Ted feel better! Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteThank you Theresa. You are so sweet. Ted is doing better. I think the nebulizer and oxygen are helping to clear his lungs. Once the lungs are clear his strength will improve...even a bit will be a blessing here. Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and a new year of good health and peace. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThank you my sweet Laurie. I hope we can get thru this winter and feel much safer with the vaccine taking effect. Merry Christmas to you ,Garry, and the family. Stay warm and safe. Blessings,xoxo,love Susie
