No White Christmas For Us

Look like there are no chances for us to have a white Christmas this year. I don't know if the Tennessian ever had a white Christmas as since we moved here almost two years ago, we only had flurries several times but it's barely covered the ground. Last week we had flurries on and off the whole day Sunday. And again there is a little white flake on the ground. I like snow once in a while but not my hubby. He is so happy living here in Tennessee, as winter is pretty mild compare to his hometown. Poor hubby says he's sick of winter.




So no white Christmas for us this year. I am just hoping it won't be rain on Christmas day so we can go to Church in the morning. Merry Christmas everyone!!!

The Great Tennessee Marijuana Cave

Nowadays people are willing to do unimaginable things to be able to live a luxury life. These people are pretty smart but unfortunately they use their brain to do something against the law.....gheeesh! It's amazing how organised they were but not anymore!

Within the caves of middle Tennessee, growers constructed a complex of offices, living quarters, restroom facilities, and a climate-controlled forest of over one thousand cannabis plants.

There's Still Nice People Out There

I received this in my email sometimes ago and it brought tears to my eyes...hihi! Now you know I am a touchy one. But ain't it great to know there are still wonderful people out there?

This is one of the kindest things I've ever experienced. I have no way to know who sent it, but there is a beautiful soul working in the dead letter office of the US postal service.


Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so she dictated these words:


Dear God,

Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven.
I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick. I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls and to swim. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her. You will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.

Love, Meredith.


We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.

Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, "To Meredith , " in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, "When a Pet Dies." Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:



Dear Meredith,

Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey right away. Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.
Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you. I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much.

By the way, I'm easy to find, I am wherever there is love.

Love,
God


What a beautiful story. God bless the beautiful soul, Meredith and her mom as well.
Thanks for sharing the wonderful story.
