Anyone else spending Christmas Eve alone?
The bizarro world of brother skooz | 12/24/2014 | Skooz

Posted on 12/24/2014 5:33:35 PM PST by Skooz

Hello all. Sitting here at home and wondering if anyone else out there is spending this evening alone.

On this night of all nights when families gather and friends share gifts and time, some of us are, for various reasons, spending Christmas Eve solo.

Not necessarily a bad thing - alone doesn't always mean lonely. But, it does mean alone.

Check in if that includes any of you, my fellow Freepers.

Maybe to a cat every day is Christmas, and we’d never know it.

It is vain even to attempt to counsel those who are sticking to him, except maybe once if they really haven’t ever heard it before.

Then it is saw them off, and pray for their souls time.

Love to see your lodge. Something tells me you aren’t talking about cleaning the new stainless microwave :)

There could genuinely be an area of their soul where God’s power is badly lacking. This is, as I have now come to understand, a fallout of the fall of mankind, a mystic mutual rebellion which took place before our physical births. God does not make junk, but we had permission to make ourselves junk and as a group did so.

The resulting tragedy and coming to grips is part of God’s salvational plan. Don’t be hyper quick to judge these weaknesses, remembering that there may be mine fields in your own soul, which might not have driven you to a bottle, but may have driven you to something which AFAIK is worse, like self righteousness. And you might not see it and nobody else may see it because God’s grace has temporarily covered it, but until it’s really forgiven and cleansed it is still there, needing attention some day. And grace, properly channeled, is the only thing that will cleanse it.

Nope.

I am a Mason and our lodge has a beautiful professional kitchen.

I like to clean and get a sense of accomplishment from it.

Sweetest, beautiful you. Thank you so much. We have just returned from a Christmas Dinner out at one of the casinos. I think DrO would approve: no drinks! God bless and keep you and everyone you love.
