Christmas comes around again

I love Christmas, I always have. It's great to have friends and family all around this time of year and all the hustle and bustle of the season. That however it isn't as it use to be for me. Both my parents have been in Heaven for over a decade now, miss them very much especially around Christmas, which was both their favorite time of the year. My brother Paul and his family use to come when my parents were amoungst us but we don't get together at Christmas now, and they now have grand children of their own. Sometimes we would get together with our friends Jim and Carol but this year these friends aren't feeling well, they'll probably be spending Christmas at their daughter's as well as recouperating. For a number years, my brother Douglas and I spent time in Florida and at a friends house there for Christmas there. We have moved back to Western New York which I'm happy about.

Every Christmas at least for a few decades off and on now, I have asked God to give me a Born Again Christian single and available man of my age bracket. You see most men are just friends. Christmas seems a little sad because I never get that big wish I always am praying and hoping for this time of year, which is even better then opening a packaged gift, though I love doing that too. I know I am kind of particular about who I am looking for, someone with integrity and great looks (at least how I think is great looks), tall and kind of lean shaped or slightly extra lbs., keeps up with the modern ways, and sticks to the Christian life-style. Someone who doesn't pooh hoo things as being to seculiar though someone who sticks with their Christian values as well. Someone who enjoys being active in church. Plus who likes conversing with others and can be humorous as well as serious. Who is a people person. Sometimes I have to turn down someone because I just know that person doesn't meet my expectations  which can make people get upset at me for doing that. I think I know what I like, I think I know the man when I see who it is whether it is in person or in a picture. I really wish I could meet him at my church but it's a long shot when it's a large church. Which makes no sense but when people come and go quickly in a large church it's hard to meet them.

Anyway I love to have someone, especially as Christmas rolls around again. Even though I enjoy Christmas with it's music and the message and the decorations and the gifts. It's about time that I wish God would hear my prayer and surprise me with meeting that one in a million man that he would allow for me. I guess I am looking for that Hallmark moment in time and for ever.

It's a long shot in asking people sometimes if they know someone I might like because their taste really can't match my taste, unless you know me well enough.

Pray for Peace

Not sure of what any of you maybe thinking, but for myself my heart goes out to the people of Israel. We all need to be praying for the peace of Israel as well as that the Hamas people, and Egypt put down their weapons.

Why has this world become a territority of war.? Ever since the beginning of time there has been war.

Peace however only comes with faith in Christ,

Forgets

Does anyone forget more then I do? Probably not as much. Maybe I have too much on my mind a lot of the time, but I don't realize it at the time. I am known for short-term memory lapses. A reason for that is I have a piece of a # 4 chromozone  missing in me. I think it not only gets me forgetting often (thank God I don't have Alzheimers) but has even caused me to limp in life. I don't notice the limp too much, though I do at the moment because I have had problems walking on my one foot. I'm not as energetic as I would like to be, like I use to be. So we are trying to find me a therapist to get my body to cooperate again, get my foot to work for me again. 

Reasons for Facebook

There are a lot of great reasons to use Facebook, finding people, friends and  relatives and meeting new people. Usually the newer ones you meet because you have something or someone in common, and things you might like.
I love catching up with folks I haven't seen or heard from in quite awhile, or years. Went to a reunion three years ago, after finding a bunch of friends from my past and we all had a lot to catch up on. Would love to have another reunion again with those friends.
Another good reason for Facebook, you find out if there is someone who's passed away, not that that is good news, but sometimes you wouldn't know if you haven't seen it on Facebook.
But if I am not in conversation with anyone on Facebook, I post things I like and think others might like. Though, some folks take offense to something that gets posted. I know I have made the mistake of saying something and have apologized, trying not to make the mistake again. Sorry to the folks I might offend.
I enjoy playing some of the games on Facebook as well, but it can become kind of boring with some of those games, and well you know those games will keep on going on and on it seems like forever. Is the any end to the Facebook games.
