Christmas Day

Topic: Daily Doings

Hi folks, I have to be quick.

Woke up at about 5 o'clock this morning. Nothing I own tells me the time (left my phone at my mate's charging by accident 2 days ago, getting it back when have Xmas dinner later).

Went out for cyder around 8am. Shops empty. These are 24 hour shops. Many are run by Moslems so they don't care what day it is as long as money's coming in.

Just before 9am I had my special Xmas day hit. Remember I said I had an Xmas 1g? That it lasted from 6pm on 23/12/6 till 9am 25/12/6 is a miracle in itself. Lovely big hit of B with a twinkle of coke... Set me up for the day, I'd like to say. Actually 10 minutes later I fell back to sleep... only rousing with the Queen's Speech at 3pm.

Scurried to my mate's house.

The lady of the house was bogged down in turkey trimmings. The man of the house was drunk enough to be swaying... (remember my sketch of Xmas Day I gave yesterday... too truthful!)

Of course we'd all run out of "gear" by now. So calling my dealer a big expedition to the park was arranged. Six bags bought from dodgy blokes on benches. Quite a regular queue of the local down-&-out were making their way in and out.

Xmas Dinner was absolutely lovely. HUGE turkey + all trimmings! + cauliflower + broccoli cheese (my favourite!) + Xmas pudding + an Xmas cake we've not even tackled yet...

Hope all your Christmases are this good.

See yers 2morrow, love Gleds xx

Hello Gledwood!    

Merry Christmas! Jesus is the Reason for the Season - it is so good to hear from you and it sounds like you are doing pretty well, more than usual at least!

Last night we were at our Pastor's place with some friend's from church. Anyway, what really inspired me was our friend Nico - he comes from a totally homosexual lifestyle, (since he was 17 years old, now he's over 40) and he now is serving Jesus Christ. He has completely given up his old ways - knows who he is in Christ as a "New Creation" (the bible says that when you receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior and are born again "You are a new creation, behold, old things have become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17) He has completely abandoned himself to God and has fallen in love with Him.

When I spend time with someone like Nico, I am so encouraged - I see the power of God - I have seen a number of men that have come out of homosexuality and are serving God. Because I myself have come out of homosexual relationships myself, I know it is not an easy thing... but if God can save and deliver someone who has lived as a homosexual for years - He can surely do so for someone who's lived as a drug addict for years. It's all about  "denying yourself" (which our natural self struggles against) but when we beome new and Jesus lives inside of us - we can actually MAKE A CHOICE not to use drugs anymore, and it is God's power inside of us that gives us strength to follow through.

You are going to be okay. You have people praying for you now - I have told my church friend's to be praying for you - it's only a matter of time... God wants you, there's no escaping Him!  

 Have a wonderful day and BLESSED New Year! God LOVES you so much - if you were the only person on this earth, He still would have sent Jesus to die for YOU! God bless!

Much Love, Laurie
