Christmas Perfect!
Christmas Perfect
In that eternal abyss exists a Deity continuance
Absent parameters, expanding in subtlety of nuances
 
Christmas Eve Day conjured up a warming wind Chinook
In hope of dancing snowflakes God’s little ones did look
 
Bright colored coats with scarves a-flying in array
Nor’wester threatens frigid weather right away
 
Assault the merchants in one quickly final spree
Choose just those right gifts in a spiritual of glee
 
Shop windows aglow with festival delight
Center town Square a Christmas sparkle-sight
 
Shoppers scurry to hide purchased secret treasures
Sweet dreams come true in sharing wanted pleasures
 
Church lawns declare with holy manger scenes so placed
God’s own Son born to our Blessed Virgin Mother chaste
 
Each passing year challenges anew: how can it get even better?
True love discovered that first time when he had gently kissed her
 
Held hands in shadow soft cast by yon alabaster moon
Tender-kissed young love did surely follow very soon
 
Anniversaries, kids and grandchildren later
Love, honor, cherish one another they do cater
 
A plain gold band sealed solemn vow back then
A golden sphere of diamond hearts this time given
 
The king is dead; long live the king
Impromptu event unveils a copy-ring
 
The ceremonial mantle is peacefully passed
Another Christmas Perfect has arrived at last
 
Can any future such surpass in another year yonder?
To do so will be a most spectacular special wonder
Amen!
 
Christmas Perfect!
 
 
 
Prologue
 
In that eternal continuum which is God, the honest pursuit of excellence is worthy, yet, mostly elusive in the life of man as perfection is sought. Free will bestowed, then practiced for good or otherwise, the Deity’s omniscience cannot be denied; man can only seek. Pure joy is derived solely from the challenge of the “doing”. Perfection! Indeed! C’est la vie! Mon Amie!
The Ring
Perfection! A symbol of a continuing circle of perpetual love represented by two interlocking hearts set ablaze with stunning blue-white diamond clarity. The quintessence of God!
No beginning; no end. Always present. Pure!
In its very essence. Perfect!
In its simple concept. God! Personified!
Rotate a ring on any diametric axis to generate a perfect sphere. Contained in that globe is the nature of consecrated love---which is, in its essence…God! The goodness in each of us is ever-expanding. It is the capacity to transcend all that is not good in its various manifestations which tempt man into transgression; a victory over the impure in life for the cleansing of the soul through the Grace of the Holy Spirit. To offer “love’ is to bestow the very gift of God. The ring is the perfect symbol which illustrates the continuum that is God, Who is Love.
May the days in your “ring” all be diamonds as you eternally treasure: Christmas Perfect!
Prayer: Dear Lord, Thank You for the gift of life bestowed through Your everlasting love for me. Faith! Family! Freedom! Shall be my proudly spoken credo, my worthy human quest, my sacred spiritual desire. Through the Authority of the Father, The Blessing of Christ Jesus and the Grace of the Holy Spirit I will triumph in the Kingdom’s promised celestial infinity. Amen!

Day 358
 
 
Creek bed is soft; a big, hard rain is coming---
creek’s flooded
 
 
We had tried to buy several properties over the years; we ended up with 10-acres overlooking the Mississippi River valley with a view to die for, swimming pool, horses, etc.
So, I get a phone call from a farmer whose land we had contemplated; he was ready!
We had looked at an 80-acre tract, a 140-acre piece and this 214-acre farm earlier.
Only six years into our newly constructed estate with the fantastic view (I still miss seeing those sunsets) I sold our estate and we moved to the farm into a dilapidated old farm house 150 years old and to get to the property we had to drive through the Maeystown Creek. It was rock bottom and clear running; unless we got a downpour, easily navigated---but…in the heavy rains?
Now you probably won’t believe this---but…I can smell snow on the air up to 24 hours ahead.
Also, that old creek bed had a penchant to get “soft” around a day prior to a hard rain; came to pass every time we had a gusher. It only rose two feet or so, but was mighty swift. The downstream neighbor actually had his Jeep washed off his concrete pad-bridge in a huge storm.
First thing I bought after we acquired the farm was a Ford F150 4-wheel drive; we managed.
Eventually, I poured a concrete low-water bridge with two 12” corrugated-culverts to allow for the natural flow; also, I built an emergency exit across the neighbor’s land rocked with creek rock. Ah! The adventures of the “Gypsy”-life! Hmm! A wonder she hasn’t thrown me out---Yet!
 
Ah! Cookie Jar Sweet “Creek’s risin’---again” Memories!
