The Promise


For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the goverment will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6

Don't let the " Grinch" steal your Christmas

Most of you know that my husband works for
Stuller Settings as the Security Manager,
once a month he puts together a news letter for the company.
I wanted to share a little of it with you.

Home Security for the Christmas Holidays
By Mike Prem/Security Manager

The Christmas Holidays. What a great time for families and friends to get together, share good times and practice the tradition of gift giving.

Unfortunately the criminal element of society sees this as a great time and opportunity to burglarize your home and steal your Christmas. Unlike the Grinch they don’t have a change of heart and bring it all back. Here are a few tips to help prevent an incident occurring in the first place.

Placement – don’t display your Christmas tree and presents at the front window. This makes it easy for a burglar to see what you have and smash and grab presents

Occupancy – if your house is empty don’t leave signs of your absence. Burglars look for piled up newspapers, flyers left on door knobs and outdoor lights left on 24 hours a day. Check with a neighbor to pick up your newspapers, mail and doorknob flyers. Put your outdoor light on a timer.

Keys – everybody knows about hidden keys. Burglars check under rocks, under door mats, flower pots and around ledges. Don’t leave them there.

Locks – burglars do prefer unlocked doors and windows. Sliding glass doors are also a big problem. Keep them locked and secure that sliding door. Locksmiths have devices for sliding glass doors. Do not leave a door unlocked to run power to Christmas decorations. Have a electrician install a outdoor outlet for you.

Mailbox- do not put your name on the mailbox. A burglar can get your phone number from the operator with your name and address and can call your home to see if it’s unoccupied.

Phones – leave your answering machine message simple. “We can’t come to the phone right now” Do not leave descriptive messages telling any caller that you aren’t home.


Just a few things that might deter someone from burglarizing your home.

"Granny"


Today would have been my grandmothers 88th birthday. She went home to be with the Lord three years ago. For as much as I miss her, I rejoice that she is in the arms of the Lord she served.


My favorite memories of her......


The smile on her face when we came running through the door to see her

Spending time with her in the summers

The way she sang silly songs to us kids

Sitting on the arm of her chair while she peeled fruit to share with us grandkids

The way she made funny noises when she would move around ( nickname "Grannygrunt" )

The smile she had the first time she held my son

The look on her face when I showed her photos on my laptop, that were taken that day!

But most of all for the love she always gave

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



The cardinal was her favorite and everytime I see one it reminds me of her.

Loved and greatly missed
