Shoot-out: My Angel

Before anything else can be said, today, I acknowledge our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who we celebrate. I shudder to think where I would be without His atoning sacrifice. May you all have a Merry Christmas, in His service.


I apologize for not featuring St. Augustine in my post. However, my subject is the most important part of St. Augustine, to me. It is my angel, Billie Marie.

She is my constant joy, at Christmas time, and throughout the year.

She is most loved by our "little angel" grandchildren.


She supports me in everything, including outdoor fishing adventures.
She is, truly, my angel on earth.

WHAT IS REAL?
**
After all the fishing's done
And, I have had my fun,
Hand in hand, we have a chat,
On this, and then on that.
Leaving rod and fishing real,
I tell her how I feel,
"Nothing stands an inch above
Our shared eternal love."
**
Merry Christmas. Thanks for visiting.
May angels surround you.

    Your angel is a very sweet woman. You too must be an angel to her.

    It is so sweet to read a tribute by a husband.

    Merry Christmas.

    Oh Gordon, are you going to provide some words around "Under Construction"? I have a three hour drive tomorrow and may have some photo opportunities - if I can get my head around the topic!! :)
