Life is a Special Occasion!

Make Cut Out Snowflake Day is here and now. Here's a day to show your crafty skills, as you make paper snowflakes. Making cut out snowflakes is a great project for kids. However, you don't have to be a kid, to have fun making paper snowflakes. It's a skill that is practiced by many people.
They say no two snowflakes are alike. It shouldn't come as a surprise, that there are seemingly countless different snowflake designs. Templates abound, from fast and easy patterns, to intricate time consuming designs to challenge the most practiced ‘snowflaker'.
So, if you like snow...bring it on! Bring out the paper and scissors, and cut out some paper snowflakes on this very special Make Cut Out Snowflake Day.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand, and melting like a snowflake.
Marie Ray
The snow flakes signs shown today were part of my Christmas painting project a couple of years ago. The little blocks are perfect for setting out on a shelf or a table and I gave them all away as gifts that year. Snowflakes do make for a Winter Wonderland, but it seems there isn’t any in our forecast anytime some. Those of us in northern Ohio know this nice weather won’t last forever. It is wintertime after all.
It’s to be a very busy day here at my house. It’s the day of our family gathering for Christmas. I’m thankful that the roads are not icy or slippery for the folks traveling today and I’m praying they have a safe trip.
Remember that just as there are no two snowflakes alike, we are all different too, each of us very unique and special in our own way.
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Looking for and enjoying beauty is a way to nourish the soul. the universe is in the habit of making beauty. There are flowers and songs, snowflakes and smiles, acts of great courage, laughter between friends, a job well done, the smell of fresh baked bread. Beauty is everywhere.
Matthew Fox
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3442. for snowflakes, no two are alike
3443. for our special time to gather as a family
3444. for clear roads for traveling
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look at what they can do when they stick together.

Those hand-painted blocks are wonderful! (Have you considered making these and selling out on your own Etsy shop?)
I hope your family celebration is a wonderful one!
I think we in Texas have your Ohio weather -- would you please like it back?
