Holi-daze and Q: Mindset Feeling real prompted to post this, so I shall. Thanksgiving already past and wonder what we did to it? Now Black Friday is passe' and folks going crazy getting the deals on Thanksgiving Day. Which perfectly plays into the hands of (((those))) who would Obliterate our values. I could hear them now: "Let's get people drawn away from the family gathering and get them out and running around for STUFF". Forget the memories that are forged at table with loved ones, even those we do not love at the moment but have an opportunity to mend broken relationship!  I am prompted to post this in order to remind US, let's not continue to botch things up. Actually, forget THINGS and get with PEOPLE. Yeah, you gotta get the stuff for the fam (actually, in my fam adults don't, we just focus on the kids). And as the adage goes: You can have nice things, just don't leave them have you. For me the focus is the birth of Jesus, but even for those who do not have Him as their focus...take the time to give attention to what really matters. Restore or create new traditions. Share the lore of your family before the eldest ones (or anyone else for that matter) are gone.  Is this Q related?? Heck yeah, because this is ALL about the regaining of that which was lost. Recognizing again the importance of family which is ALWAYS a major target of the enemy, alongside our knowledge and relationship with God. Break the yoke that we allowed to be placed upon our shoulders: the weight of debt, of getting more stuff to fill that heart void within. Of all of the insanity that these holy days have become. (((Those))) bastages laugh at us while they clutch their gold, of seeming value now but absolutely useless in the hereafter. This is our warfare 'gainst (((their))) dark plans. TAKE IT BACK!! And enjoy your Christ-mas. Bottom line: Enjoy time with family, who ever you consider your family to be.  Godspeed.
