Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Mornin’ dear Patience. Little ‘Tink told me to say “hello” for her. 🙂
So sweet, Patience – this is just what they would say!
Here’s one:
I applied at a rescue shelter for a little doggie few weeks back; had my heart set on her, but she went to another home.

Good afternoon, dear all three above…Garrison, Patience, and very much missed Della 💕 🌲 🕊
I took a mini sabbatical with so much going on in the past two weeks, and I’ve missed you all. So here I am once again, with all the beautiful souls who adorn the branches in this part of the forest. I hope as the birth of our Lord draws nearer, that beautiful Spirit of Christmas is enveloping all with its warmth, bonhomie, indescribable joy, and anticipation of so much better to come 💕 🌲 🕊
And as it is Cursday 🌲💕🌲💕🌲
Santa will never see him 🌲 💕
Hello dear Betsy! Hope all is well for you and your family!
Yes, those sabbaticals can do wonders! Glad to see you again, tho …
As we prepare to celebrate the birth of the Lord Jesus, we’re also anxiously awaiting His return!
Hopefully, it will be soon …
I certainly hope Colkitto sees these cute Corgis!
Blessings asked for you and Chris to enjoy a peace-filled Christmas season!
Thank you so much, Southern Sis 💕 I had him in mind believe me!! I shall save it for when we hopefully see him before Christmas. And if he doesn’t appear until after? Well, I am not averse to posting it again just for him, great and much loved friend that he is….
O Come, O Come Emmanuel 🕊🙏🏻🕊
A good while back, you introduced me and Treepers to this little angel …. thank you, Betsy!
Here’s video you posted, Betsy – little girl was four years old, and so precious!
Adorable … and she’s got some real talent. What a great dad too.
yes, amazing parents (as it appears)!
Did I read you’ve a baby granddaughter on the way?!
No…those ships have all sailed, Della. But Kenji does…in February! Were all looking forward to it, though I’d say he is more😉💕
Nine is our limit. God was very good to my three, and to us.
Yes you did … and I’m inspired to play guitar to her and teach her a song or two. I’ll have to wait till she’s out of the goo, ga, ga stage. Wait! Didn’t The Police have a Do, do, dah, dah … song?
I remember it so well. One of the loveliest duets ever. So precious. And wonderful to see it again . Thank you, sis😌😘
Smiling ear to ear,Della!!!!! So sweet. Really there is nothing like children’s voices…
💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕
Good afternoon Patience! Once, after returning from a long trip we found our welcome present to be a baby rattler. At least it was not alive. 😆❤️

Good afternoon, dear sis 😘🌲…
As you may have noticed I have been AWOL for a few days. But tis the season when…
“Winter reminds us that everyone and everything needs some quiet time.”
~Katrina Mayer
Boy did I need just a teensy bit. I got some and the prodigal daughter returneth, refreshed and fortified.
I pray the spirit of this Christmas blesses you with that precious peace which only our Father can give as we approach the birth of Christ, the Light and Hope of our world….the best Gift we could ever be given 🙏🏻🕊💕
In Austria somewhere…actually probably everywhere in that country.
WOW !!! I could use a couple of months off – BUT – no dice !!!
The enemy is attacking daily – Della knows – and she is providing
her love and support in prayer !!! ❤️🙏❤️
Angels are working OT – have them scurrying everywhere !!!
God has stepped in BIG LEAGUE, too !!! GOD IS GOOD !!!
Happy to see you again !!! Stevie is here, too, lending her love !!!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I hasten to add my absence was not relaxing time off, girl. But trying to reconnect with the Holy Spirit in the face of so much that is unbearable to read or think of. There were conversations on my part…and questions for which answers are known to our Father alone. Yes, evil and its acolytes on earth are everywhere. We can see them which is a blessing to us that our eyes are open so we know who they are. No more dark corners for them to hide in. God has exposed them in the bright light; so for those who still do not understand that a spiritual war is raging, they are being given an opportunity to choose a side. No equivocation, no fence sitting. That’s my view.
We have fierce Warriors here on the victorious side, and I say this because as we know that victory was won long ago.
Bless your sweet heart, duchess…and Della’s and stevie’s, and Woo’s…there are so many in this branch I want to name. But my brain is still a bit foggy from a rather lengthy dental appointment so the old cells are clicking g as well as I would wish them to do.
Love ya, dear friend😘. I’ll go back and see what I’ve missed over the past few days….
OK Betsy … I’ll drop this here … so you can relax until the laughing gas wears off … with some sweet, meaningful music …

LOVELY, KENJI !!! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh Kenji…..just the right work from Bach. There was no one like him. Bless you, dear friend…and thank you😘
Amen goes right there, Bet !!! ❤️

This Prayer Warrior will not give up the fight !!!
👍🏻 😘 We’re all on the wall with lamps lit 🙏🏻
YESS. !!!
Amen, Sis
Yes ma’am 😘
Hi sweet friend,
I have felt your absence, but thought it due to family priorities for the holidays and I prayed for you and yours for pleasant gatherings, laughs, and love.
Though now reading your post, I see a prayerful retreat was made. I feel “it”, too, Sis and have been seeking The Lord’s Counsel in my quiet time. There is much discomfort in the presence of evil and the view often forced upon us. Occasionally, I must turn away for refreshing and I hope that as you sought Him, you were reminded how very valuable and cherished you and Chris are. Not just to this Tree, but to The Holy One Himself.
I had to laugh today as I was regarding daughter’s poor grades at school. If she fail the devil’s school, why would I not be GLAD in it?!
For us to “fail” in this world because we are “in” this world and not “OF THIS WORLD” can be a great compliment.
Let’s take it as such.
It is a “big club and we are not in it”… best news I’ve had all day!!
Giggle and laugh, my friend. Giggle and laugh.
Now, will you pour or shall I? I’ve some gingerbread cookie persons and angels to make, so happy to offer them to our friends.
🎄 🕊 ✝️
Ooooooo…I’ll be “Mother” and pour. I’ve gotten quite too at it, don’t you know 😂
Glorious news!!! Savannah knows and has very good radar. I expect such great things await her, Woo. I was just reading that K-12 is Marxist Central. It seemed to be a shock to the author. But not to loving parents throughout this now fallen land. Darkness is on our nation but a radiant Light so bright shines above. We just have to keep looking up while holding everything else at arm’s length while saying, “No further!” It won’t be easy, but the Lord is at hand and has our backs🕊🙏🏻
Go get those cookies, and I’ll throw a tea cosy over your cup…it will keep warm until you return. Blessings always, sis, to you and your precious daughter 💕🌲

Good afternoon and blessings, Treeper friends.
Had something that may be of interest to some. It is about the way we talk and the words we use to communicate.
In my meditation today, the words “Purity”, “Truth”, “Honor”, and “Plainness in Speech” were brought to my mind.
As an example, people would ridicule Trump during his Presidency for his plainness of speech.
Twenty years ago, when I worked for the second largest employer in Redmond, Washington (next to #1 Microsoft), I started as a temporary contract worker in their Human Resources Payroll Department. As there were such a diverse public being represented (54 different language dialects in the Tukwila School District alone – from what I knew of in another assignment), the HR Department of this large employer required work correspondence and policy to be written at a 6th grade lexile level.
Based upon our communities and education system today – I bet that lexile level is much lower now.
We seem to be having a problem with plainness of speech. Or rather that the definition of a word for some, is not the same for others. “Do what you say, say what you mean.”
A former acquaintance of mine would speak in riddles. Some of what he would say would be disconcerting, so I would press him to expound and clarify what his intention was with his words. He would recoil and would either be construed as:
an attempted clairvoyant making proclamations on peoples’ Spirits and futures with no affirmationsa crass and hardened wanderer seeking those who would simply follow him because of his hardnessrarely ever challenged and thus unprepared to defend his view pointa total mad man
Whichever of those he were, I choose to align with those who speak honestly and plainly.
Looking back at how President Trump was flayed in the court of public opinion – I believe his words were much more subtle than given him credit – as we see the moral depravity of world and global establishment on display. And for those who want to draw to particular instances of Trump’s words – yes, there were some that were unsavory – yet that which is spoken in darkness is always brought to light – so even in our purest temples of self awareness – we have likely said worse. If we are being honest with ourselves. No one… not one person alive on earth… is free of depravity.
My study sought out “plainness of speech” and I have a deep yearning for that which is Pure, Honest, and True. Here is what I found in the short time of my study and a reference to an online study.
“How painful are honest words.” Job 6:25 (NIV)
“Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech.” 2 Corinthians 3:12 (KJV)
“At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the the Word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison – that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.” Colossians 4:3-4 (ESV)
I have been teaching my teen at home that I expect answers from her to be yes or no in nature, and not a “stroll around the bend” at some concocted story to substantiate why a responsibility fell by the wayside, when a simple yes or no will do. It is a matter of accountability and responsibility.
For a deeper review and the challenges overcome by using plain speech, here is an online study that I found on the topic: https://plainbibleteaching.com/2005/08/01/great-plainness-of-speech/
So People Can Understand
Because the Gospel is God’s Power for Salvation
So People Know What to Do
To Avoid Misuse of the Scriptures
So People are Drawn to God and not Man
Good thought material, Woo!
Yep – words MATTER.
And sometimes – those we “don’t” speak…
AMEN, Sis.
Heaven help us all, Betsy.

I LOVED that movie!
Update: Today the IDF demolished the vast tunnel and command network of the Senior Command District of Gaza City in Central Gaza.
A vast network of tunnels and command rooms which connects into homes of the leaders of Hamas including Sinwar. From there they also controlled the massacre of 10/7. They never imagined to ever see this happen.
That’s FANTASTIC!! Now what will the UN have to say … ? Cease Fire NOW ? Hahaha ha ha ha … too late … YOU LOSE!!!
This is a BAD choice. Under no circumstances should we be bringing illegals inland.
They should be stopped cold at the border and never enter our country in the first place.

I believe we have no choice as to where the invasion forces are being shipped, Woo. We weren’t asked. The wicked powers doing this do as they jolly well please and the rest of us whose lives will be affected be d****d. But yes…the whole of the Heartland is next…. count on it. And stay watchful, girl 😎😘
From a British series in the early 2000’s. A fine, believable piece of acting. I think we can all understand lo these many years hence in this country…7 minutes.
“I Am An Englishman”
I keep thinking and holding to the thought…
The weapons they have sought to destroy us with… will be turned on them…
Put them on a rickety boat in Galveston and tow them far out to sea
Are there any here who want their hearts to soar??

Afternoon, dear Bet! This morning I took my mom Christmas shopping at the Walmart in Fredericksburg. As we were heading towards the exit a group of several adults and a number of kids of different ages sang a couple of Christmas carols. Mom and I stopped and sang along as much as we could. The group sang Silent Night in English, German, and Spanish. The they walked out to the applause of the people standing by. 😍❤️
SMILING BIG LEAGUE HERE, GRAMPS !!! ❤️❤️❤️
So good to see you, beloved brother🤗! What an incredibly joyous experience for you both. I bet your mother’s eyes lit up. Such a gift for her. Caroling used to be something I would sed to look forward to,and somewhere along the line it disappeared. Do you sense that God is moving, G? It’s stories like this which make believe that more are turning to the Father. We’ve had a terrible taste of what our world is like without him. That’s another smile today…and here comes the Christmas Spirit I’ve been waiting for💕🌲🕊
Marvelous, Grandpa. I so wish to see this trend continue. Maybe after Christmas, an Anthem!
Who gives a sh_t about what is happening to children that are being trafficked?
