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 †

Netanyahu Sends a Christmas Message to Christians
A couple minutes that has gotten me in the Christmas mood many times over the decades.
Rumor has it that 15yo Janis Orenstein, who did the voice of Clarice in this role, did the song in one take. It’s a time I’m glad I lived through, especially singing Christmas carols for the neighbors. 🙂
Merry Christmas to all the gentle readers of the Treehouse. God be with you.
I think you are not alone in looking back, Dunes. I suspect the numbers of us who have been doing so, especially this year, have grown. That yearning that comes with remembering better times. So while the world continues to change as it always has done, it is lovely that our memories do not and are a source of comfort, something that no one can ever take from us 🤗 …Merry Christmas fellow Treeeper 💕

When I first saw this back in the 1970s, I wished I might meet a Clarice someday. I never did, but there’s still eternity ahead. This lifetime is just a poor wayfaring moment of grief, with some good times along the way too.
Everything will be fine. Soon, we’ll look back to these tumultuous times and cry that we were once here and understood the challenges of doing what we could to help each other to feel a little better and work towards a brighter future.
Well, that’s my old clumsy way of explaining it anyway. There’s always tomorrow.
Beautiful, Justice 😌 Eloquent and not one thing clumsy about it 💕
Good evening, Justice, and thank you for your kind words earlier regarding my prayer.
They were my words and my soul’s cry, but I asked The Lord to voice my plea in words relevant to us all.
Just as you have this very moment.
This is a hard life. Terribly, terribly hard for some… but in the words of a kind old preacher I once knew… “tough times never last, but tough people do”.
There were some things in his ministry that were missing and it ended in turmoil and pain… but it just proves that pain and hardship will always find us.
What matters is how we stand anyway in the midst of suffering. Or how we fight on our knees in prayer.
Bless you, dear one. We will see fairer times ahead… in this life… or in our eternal one.
Merry CHRISTmas! 🕊
Back at ya. 🙏😇🎄
After 2023, I think this is an appropriate closing soundtrack, you write whatever scene you like.

Sweet, Kenji !!! ❤️❤️❤️
A joyful Carol for our new born King🙏🏻🌲🕊
All God’s creatures, I believe, know His voice.
Look up tonight for the Star, that sign of the Greatest Gift the world could ever hope to receive. His love for us is unchanging and eternal. 🙏🏻💕
Welcome, dearest Jesus. Our hearts are ready to be filled 🕊
Nice, betsy!
Merry Christmas Eve, Slowcobra 🌲💕 Made my eyes leak a bit, dear sis…
MAGNIFICENT, BET !!! ❤️ ❤️❤️. GOOSEBUMPLES HERE !!!
I heard it for the first time today, duchess. Me, too!!💕🌲
Hmmm…
Our birds seem to peer at something spectacular.
Hmmmmmm…I think you’ve made my case, ERROR 🤗👍🏻 And just perfect….especially that sweetheart on the bottom.
Merry Christmas, my friend…to you and your Kim and to all whom you love. Blessed be your Christmas Day🙏🏻😘🕊
Thank you Betsy!
Kim and I, we’re not much, but together we’ve been given something we behold and enjoy! A higher power we praise gives us a new and every day that gives us hope and promise.
And that’s all we ask for…
Li’l buggers. Thought I was rough and tumble.
As my freedoms fleet I’ll provide a seed for them.
Imagine you’re tiny.
Yet you carry a load much bigger than you. Just to survive.
Yes. I know you do…
I wake to many blessings every day. I’ve only two knees…
I do dearly love all the kitties, regardless of their size. ❤️🦁🐯😻❤️
Christmas Eve Reflections
It is impossible to imagine the feelings Mary must have experienced looking at her newborn Son, duchess, knowing what she knew. Overwhelming to imagine the depth of them…🙏🏻🕊💕
Women have given birth under all sorts of strange circumstances –
but I cannot imagine giving birth in a stable filled with animals !!! 💙🧚🏻♀️💙
Have to admire Joseph agreeing to this divine appointment – and
Mary agreeing to trust the word of an Archangel to accept God’s will !!! 💜 🧚🏻♀️ 💜
And through a single event – PEACE and LOVE permeated the world !!! ❤️🧚🏻♀️❤️
You know, I was thinking about Joseph this afternoon. He was chosen as well. The story is miraculous in all its parts as well its whole. He truly does work everything according to His purposes.

Oh thank you, girl!!! When we had cable I would always watch for this every Christmas. But we cut that cord years ago. What a treat!!!! I shall watch this after we worship with the beautiful service, Carols from King’s. Wonderful!!!! 🌲💕
Thank you, Betsy! I was looking for something like this.. I remember one where there was the manger and a shadow of the Cross over it.
Almost like this but without the writing 👇🏼
Kim and I, from Edmond, OK, wish a Merry Christmas to each and all!
As we celebrate the gift of life we would like to share our joy.
Our father sends to us things and events that bring us great joy! We humble in his presence…

Jacob Prasch, not a “pretty man” but someone who loves The Lord… has an interesting testimony and is somewhat of a scholar. A believer in Christ Jesus, has a message on the Nativity.

I always am interested in Jacobs understanding as a Jew slash catholic slash married to a Messianic Jew, Holocaust surviving parents and relatives…
for what it’s worth in today’s times, God Bless and may The Lord Shine upon you and give you PEACE! In the NAME above all NAMES, Jesus Christ THE LORD! COME LORD JESUS!
Wishing everyone the best of Christmas holidays. Food till you burst. Laughter till you collapse. Warmth until your heart can barely stand the heat. Love of family, love of friends, and love of those furred ones who are sitting at your feet waiting for leftovers.

Was just thinking of you tonight, Mary! A relative showed me her “Tubi” app for watching Korean movies.
Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing many of your beautiful creations of music and video
Deleted because I did not see.Mary above before I posted.
Well are there any coincidences, Mary?? I don’t think so. Yesterday and the day before you were very much present in my thoughts. And tonight here you are!
Thank you for these, and thank you for your warm wishes. Merry Christmas, girl. Hope you enjoy the day exactly as you’ve laid it out in your hopes for us 🌲😁
Mary Van Deusen!!!
Blessings and Merry Christmas, friend. So happy to see you again!
Happy Christmas, JWoo!!! Happy Christmas was the original phrase in the 1823 Night Before Christmas. Back in the days… the first research we did was literary. Don was a Vassar professor with great search skills and a note of his on the Christmas poem showed that one of the earliest uses of the phrase was in Henry Livingston’s love letter to his wife-to-be, Dec 30, 1773. Fingers crossed I can still remember how to post a picture.

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall. Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
And prayers up for all political prisoners. Prayers up for Julian Assange and for all the protesters of January 6 who were or are entrapped in DC.
Thank you Father, for Your love and the gift of Life.
A prayer for members of the CTH that they remain strong and clear thinking and that the site remain a bastion of freedom and continue to spread the facts of our current dilemma to millions in this country and across the globe. That the light of freedom inspired by our Creator and enshrined in our founding never be extinguished by acts of man.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Amen.
Thank you, Andeclain. I was so excited about getting to go to the Christmas Eve service tonight, I forgot all about posting the prayer before I went. Merry Christmas to you and yours. I feel so grateful to have your help .
Thank you for such a beautiful message. Blessed Christmas to you and yours.
Amen
