“Don we now our gay apparel.......troll the ancient Yuletide Carol”
with
all its fa, la, la, la, las, had me asking myself, “What am I donning?” What
kind of cheerful countenance am I putting on while lying in bed?
Remember
the old Four Seasons song verse, “I’d change my sad rags into glad rags, if I
could?” Sounds like a choice to me. So I got up and decided to post Snapshots
to remind me of the wonderful “pre-Christmas” days, I had prior to getting
sick. “Putting on” positive reflections of God’s goodness---those are the glad
rags I am donning.

| A-men--Sign said it all! |
 |
| Opulent Driskill hotel---built in 1886 |
 |
| In Austin TX, residents decorate trees all along the roadside---this one obviously done by a UTx fan! |
 |
| A beautiful state capitol decorated for Christmas with carols playing in both English and Spanish |
 |
| Whole Foods flagship store with more pepper varieties than I've ever seen |

Fun in 78°

| Tea at the Driskill with Gigi and Bonnie, my young friends |
 |
| 6th street---home of the dueling pianos and lots of "live" music |
 |
| A "teacup" tree at the Tea Embassy---right up my alley |
I will greatly rejoice in the
LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the
garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a
bridegroom decketh [himself] with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth [herself]
with her jewels. (Isaiah 61:10)
One is really “decked out” with
the Lord---so it should show in my countenance even from my sickbed. I felt
better just looking at the pics---hope you will as well.
