***~HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY~***

As my Advent Christmas booklet says, Our Lady of Guadalupe"MARY" CHRISTMAS!!!http://www.catholicweb.com/media_index.cfm?fuseaction=view_article&partnerid=48&article_id=2402 HAIL MARY, full of grace; the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, JESUS. HOLY MARY, Mother of GOD, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

This is an old vase(I keep my tea bags in it!) I purchased after I was first married soOOOOo I have had it almost 36 years as of December 23!!! My husband, Jerry brought me into the Catholic faith, ALLELUIA!

I believe MARY's happiest days were her birth, her marriage, when JESUS LEPT IN HER WOMB at her friend Elizabeth's house***LUKE 1;41,the BIRTH of JESUS, and learning of the RISEN CHRIST****LUKE, chapter 24

Her saddest day was when her son Jesus was crucified****John 19;25

MAY YOU ALL SMELL ROSES TODAY!!!

i awoke today recalling my last dream! I awoke thinking of Mary. This is the song I sang in my dream with another friend, i think it may have been Eileen.

IN THE GARDEN, one of my FAV songs of childhood learned in the Methodist church of Wilsonburg!

IN THE GARDEN

I come to the garden alone,

while the dew is still on the roses

and the voice I hear

falling on my ear

the SON of God discloses,

and he walks with me

and he talks with me,

and he tells me I am his own

and the JOY we share

as we tarry there

none other

has ever known

Remember the sketchbook journal in my VLOG?!! I finally finished it!! The Art House Gallery sends YOU the sketchbook and then we are supposed to send it back. This book had too, too many pages soOOOOoOoo I did a lot of glueing and gesso work before beginning. I used 2 of my Moo cards, 2 of my postcards from my Etsy Shop, and a few pictures of mine! I included 2 of my poems which I might read to YOU(MAYBE) and a few favorite sayings +my FAV Bible Psalm which is Psalm 122;1***I was GLAD when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
Included in the back of your sketchbook they gave YOU a theme! Mine is past, present and future.
WELCOME DEAR READER, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU!!!
