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 †

Many thanks to you Sepp for posting our beautiful Catholic prayers. I add this thought to ponder:
“The King of Heaven deigned to be born in a stable, because He came to destroy pride, the cause
of man’s ruin.” St. Alphonsus Liguori
Penitentone, thanks be to God.
The ones that I post are from a particular Orthodox Prayer Book in a fine English translation.
I am always interested in the history or background of Christian prayers and hymns, especially older ones.

The purest sound on earth
I like this one the best…….so many to choose from, however
My absolute, number one, favorite Christmas hymn! 💞🙏
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
Til He appeared
And the soul felt it’s worth…
That’s some good stuff right there…
Trust God.
Fear not.

Hi Patty, I always enjoy your posts. Mitch Miller had his own TV show when I was young, and he always encouraged the viewers at home to “sing along with Mitch.” The lyrics were shown below, complete with the “bouncing ball” so we could follow in place. Mitch’s typical motions to lead his chorus, his back to the camera, involved arms out to the sides, bent in at the elbows, fingers in claw-like fashion, hands moving up and down repeatedly. It looked like he was scratching himself in the ribs. Comedians used to joke, let’s all “itch along with Mitch!” Anyway, he was one of the very few celebrities that made it to 100 years old!
Ah, youth! 🎶💞
Thank you for your kind words, Dave. We, too, sang along with Mitch and his tv show. Lots of fun.
This is our customary Treeper Church Sunday benediction. We post it here as a way of inviting our visitors to experience the soulful experience of solace. This is intentionally a quiet place. We hope the presence of Our Lord will inspire a little faith. Our Lord loves us and want’s to be a part of His Family. All it takes to do this is our personal acceptance our Him. Do this and you are in . . .
A Very Merry/Happy Christmas and joy be to you all!
thank you EE not only lively but lovely as well. Peace
Thank you lightworker1! I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Peace to you too!!!
Great music, EE! Thanks for posting this. 🙂
I wanted to post something for all of the wonderful Treepers who make the Open Thread so special! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

Another week, gifted to us all by our Lord. A week filled with our friends here and outside of the treehouse… yet another of His gifts. We are thankful and humbled by His generosity, especially during this week.. the week celebrating the birth of his Son.
Christmas is a small but all important, very special space. It of course allows us to rejoice in the true meaning of Our Lord’s Love for us. But it *also* gives us an opportunity to appreciate the value of good friends. As I’ve aged my attitudes about true friendship, always positive, have expanded to include genuine love and affection. When you are old it’s hard to ignore the fact that good friends are a blessing from Our Lord.
good morning Garrison blessed be your day and thank you. Peace
Thank you for your kind words. Be blessed my friend.
Thank you, my man Garrison💞

-Blessings and God’s Grace on all💝
Thank you, love. Merry Christmas!!!

Happy 50th anniversary to this Rankin-Bass Christmas classic: A clip from “The Year Without a Santa Claus”.
Mickey Rooney was the voice of Santa, as he was in the other Rankin-Bass classic “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”.
The sad thing is that when these are shown on TV these days, many parts have been cut out of the 1 hour movies because there are so many commercials now.
For example, this song by the late Robie Lester (who played Mrs. Claus) has been completely cut out of the TV version of Santa Claus is Coming to Town:
These movies came out when our kids were toddlers and we watched with them for years when commercials didn’t eat into the movies.
Just watched this on dvd, ron B!! 🙂
good to have the un-cut version, for the reason you mention!

He is a treasure.
So glad both Dr. Ben, and our emperor are buddies! 💞😘🙏🎄
Thank you for this, Miss Bessie . . . This is the most important 20 minutes I’ve spent in a very long time. Dr. Ben speaks a great truth here. When President Trump turned his head those few millimeters and saved his life, I knew we had seen the hand of God protecting him. I also knew that he was going to be our president.
1. Have Congress Critters mentioned “law and order” recently?
2. Is “isolationism” a banned word?
3. Are aliens expected to “assimilate” into American society?
4. Is “Federalism” a worthy concept?
5. Is it possible for Congress to post the net worth of each member on the day they are elected and each year thereafter?
6. How many kids today know whose birthday is supposed to be celebrated on December 25th?
7. All I want for Christmas is an honest media.

“The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places…”

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
AMEN AMEN AMEN. PEACE
PLEASE PRAY FOR ABUSED, MISSING, AND TRAFFICKED CHILDREN
BE MY VOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
YES YES YES in JESUS NAME. Love you Duchess1. Peace
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
DELIVER US LORD
As children of God we have been set free
In His Word He declares how that can be
God desires His people to have freedom
Oppression enslavement we don’t need ’em
Seven times He directed an escape out
From His prophet He declared with a shout
Let My people go right now He ordered
But His commands were ignored and cornered
When He was despised a plan He devised
His prophet would decree as He advised
But no matter what plagued the oppressors
They continued to be the aggressors
Until the day He removed the most prized
Of the leader so stubborn and unwise
Deliverance from enslavement you see
Will occur in this year of Jubilee
Not by the hand of man will this happen
But by the hand of God it will snap in
The power of God is second to none
The only source thru which it will be done
Because we believe Jesus had the pull
The price of our freedom was paid in full
The glory of the latter will be greater
And we will be free from the agitator
Deliver us Lord from four hundred years
Of discord and incalculable tears
Restore us with blessings You had planned
Before evil came in and stole our land

HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY !!! ❤️❤️❤️
Jeannie C. Reilly –
“The day my mama socked it to, the Harper Valley P.T.A.” 🙂
The message is still relevant today!
Oh Patience,
What did you do? I’ve just spent several hours related to the link you posted the other day. Triangulating things my intelligent father said and did – not really understanding how much he knew or what side he was on. (So much for vacation.)
Words and places crisscrossing with things in my limited memory; some notable comparisons. Shocking to me how little I remember – lots of compartmentalization from what I thought related to Mom’s death when I was nine.
After reviewing the historical account, I sought further information about Education 2000, America 2000, Global 2000 and the book by BK Eakman, Cathy referenced. Haven’t read that one yet, but I will… that was 24 years ago… and look what Savannah and I experienced with the educational system!!! They were absolutely railroading my daughter – and I busted their asses. Though no help from the politicians in my circles – complicit – all of them.
While diving further into BK Eakman information – found this article you may find interesting. It’s all throughout – implemented at the basest level affecting our children RIGHT NOW. What to do? Wish Rogan would interview Cathy O’Brien and BK Eakman. Watch the skulls explode then. (Are both still alive?)
Just look at the list of literary works by B.K. Eakman. Just the quick overview I found – corroborate what I witnessed at the local level. (Am I going to read all these works? What is God doing with me in this for the things “and things” I’ve seen?)
Makes me sick. I’ll never look at certain politicians and their “legacies” the same again. Glad I no longer consider myself affiliated with either sick and twisted side. In their presence, my skin crawled and I knew how dangerous it was. At our Lt Governor’s “church” is where many good people fell quite ill with “C-VID” and almost cost me my life and the person sitting next to me of Greek biology had to have open heart surgery as a result and almost too, died. I heard the HVAC vent click and felt a “mist” and I wondered then as I was, and am, Spirit – led… what was to come of this?
It was there, too, at that “church” that I met the former House Representative who was working in tandem to expose Alfred Kinsey of the IU Bloomington Kinsey Institute. Her daughter, now a very powerful money-mover for Indiana. I believed them both Good, Solid Christians – cannot be sure anymore if they are overtaken. The Rep’s good friend Judith was killed by vax – she acquiesced so she could see her grandchildren. She died very shortly after succumbing to her children’s pressure. Gone, an advocate for our children.
I want to nail these SOB’s to the wall.
My father through his intelligence was working on something. He was actively working from 1943 through 1981 and possibly thereafter in limited capacity. I have a small slip of paper that was so important to him that he put it in a very special place. Dollar figures to various countries. Small slip of paper not bigger than a post-it note slipped in my Mom’s yearbook along with the floral sash order of the white roses with black ribbons posted on our front door of my childhood home upon her death.
Mom’s death and the injury of another young woman had evidence of malfeasance of the city and Dad was warned not to pursue. The City repaved the road, retook the pictures, and Dad was threatened to leave it alone or else they would take me away from him. He adopted three from Mom’s former marriage, but I was his only biological child.
We lived a weird life and Dad had an unusual background and skillset. He was a Military Police Officer Narcotics Division. My father was no dummy. It would take me years to backtrack my father and many of the names Cathy spoke of, my father… too… spoke of. I’m not sure the side of the coin my father was on. He spoke quite favorably of some of the parallels.
Now, you see where I am going with your revelation? Lord have mercy. COME LORD JESUS COME and wipe these evils from the world. Protect our kids, our minds, our decency, and our intellects. Grant us the Wisdom of Solomon, the litheness of David, the faith of Abraham for these days ahead. In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, I pray, AMEN

Don’t overlook Charlotte Isserbyt’s great work on Dumbing Down and John Taylor Gatto.
Charlotte was in Russia for a while – came home and realized in horror that the US system had been overrun while she was gone.
Great thinker and detailed analysis. A little dated but solid gold.
You show your bravery here, dear ‘Woo. Very well said. 🙂
Going to take more than reading books and venting to be brave in this, Garrison.
The public needs to get appalled by this and these creatures need reckoning.
How are you feeling? Better, I hope?
“Project Blue Beam” – too far fetched – Or simply a matter of time? – The global controllers ready their next and perhaps final PSY-OP.
“They” are running out of options and that last PSY-OP worked pretty well. It convinced hundreds of millions of unsuspecting and “trusting” human guinea-pigs, to participate in an oft lethal medical experiment. Now, many have died, many more are dying more slowly.
Remember that a false flag “alien invasion” allows those who are frantically clinging to “power” their last opportunity to usher in “Continuity of Government”. Pre-existing government protocols, which include martial law and the elimination of any last vestige of constitutionally protected in-ALIEN-able rights.
Plus – it would mitigate their biggest fear of all. President Trump. Remember this –
In a crisis – one presumably justifying the C.O.G. protocols to be enacted – the military trumps civilian governance. It places General Guillot as NORTHCOM military commander who then appoints several regional emergency “governors” to oversee “FEMA Regions”.
Something to ponder. Or not.

President-elect Donald Trump is poised to reignite global controversy by pulling the United States out of the World Health Organization (WHO) on his first day in office, January 20, 2025.
“In 2020, Trump initiated the process to leave the WHO as COVID-19 spread, accusing the agency of being under China’s control,” the Financial Times reported. However, the withdrawal process was halted when President Joe Biden reversed the decision immediately upon taking office in 2021, restoring U.S. ties with the organization.

“Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus” (1991) Based on a True Story Christmas Movie
Inspired by the famous 1897 editorial, which is based on a true story, and that has become a holiday staple, Yes Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus tells the story of young Virginia O’Hanlan – who wrote probably the most famous letter to the editor of all time.
While newspaper writer Church struggles with the death of his wife, he receives a “special” assignment. He must answer a little girl’s question about whether Santa Claus really exists. Originally aired on December 8, 1991.
“Social media users in Vietnam on platforms including Facebook and TikTok will need to verify their identities as part of strict new internet regulations that critics say further undermine freedom of expression in the communist country.
The law, which comes into force on Christmas Day, will compel tech giants operating in Vietnam to store user data, provide it to authorities on request, and remove content the government regards as “illegal” within 24 hours.”
