Finally An Update: That Christmas Tree Miracle  |
|
Okay for those who have waited with baited breath..hehe...I just got my photos back that I had taken of my special Christmas tree which was like a miracle. Most of my friends here will remember that before Christmas I was rather depressed as it looked like I wouldn't be able to have a Christmas tree at all this past Christmas....I kind of even whined about it in a discussion, "Have You Ever Wanted Something....And.." So the discussion also allowed folks here to list things they would like to have but maybe due to low funds couldn't have either. So I have to admit I was almost obsessive over the fact I just plain couldn't afford to get a tree, and it would have been the first time in my life ever that I wouldn't have a tree. So then a miracle happened...some MyLot conspirators (Hehee) pooled together somehow..I know the identity for sure of one of the MyLotters, but she refused to tell me who else was involved....drat!! Anyway, next thing you know I'm getting an email from this Christmas tree company that friends of mine have bought me a tree and to expect it to be delivered via UPS....sure enough it arrived on Friday, December 14th. I began to call it my "love" tree as I truly viewed that this tree was a real special tree given to me with love by my friends here. And the real surprise or miracle was that the tree has lasted S-o-o-o-o long and stayed as fresh as the day I got it....uh, well until just a few days ago, were yes, it has dried out a tad...I still have it up, but this will probably be the last weekend I do have it. Anyway...I photographed the tree...actually about a week ago, but only got the film developed today....so now I have photos and memories of my special miracle "love" tree. Okay to turn this as a discussion....did you ever have a holiday where things didn't look too bright...any holiday or special occasion and maybe you were depressed about....but then some little miracle occurred that changed everything and made the occasion or holiday special???

1. dumblnddzzy (10251) | 2 years ago | pyewacket, You truly are blessed to have such great friends. When I first read your first post about this I started praying that somehow, somewhere you would get your tree. As I followed the progress of this "LOVE' tree as you like to call it I wasa truly inspired with love for thohe mylotians that did this for you...Before you ask..NO I don't know who they are But I do know that you are truly loved. When I read your post about you getting a Christmas Tree I actually started crying I was so happy for you. I know you enjoyed every minute that you had it.Now you can enjoy over & over again with the pics.....Hugs((())))Lori

pyewacket (11565) | 2 years ago | Yes I truly have some amazing friends here..I'm going to feel sad taking it down...I've taken down all the other decorations and they're put away..the only one now is the tree and I'm so reluctant to take it down. The decorations and "presents" you see under the tree are props..LOL..just empty boxes I wrapped up to make it look like presents--STILL wish I knew who all was involved in getting me the tree.

2. Angelwhispers (4595) | 2 years ago | It is just so beautiful Pye:)) Are you going to upload any more? Maybe into your profile? I would love to see what you have. I think its wonderful you are still enjoying it. That is what your friends wanted in the first place. It was for your pure unadulterated pleasure. It is quite fitting in truth, not to mention honor to your friends that it is still up.
We have a Santa in my Husbands and my life that has helped us at Christmas time since the first year we were married. Many Christmases would have been bleak for us with out him. He still does and now that 5 grand babies has come along its as needed as ever:))

3. TheHairDresser (3366) | 2 years ago | That is the most beautiful story pye. What a wonderful bunch of people there are here within the walls of myLot! Dear Friends to offer such a kindness to another Dear Friend. Now that is the real spirit of Christmas that exists all year round here on myLot. Thank you pye for making my eve with this wonderful touch of humanity and to let me see your beautiful tree...I was so happy to see it. I didn't have one this year...first time for me too. But now that I have seen this one, it has made me ever so happy to know that others do care. I know the friends here have helped me in my life more than they realise. Again, thank you pye and I wish you many many more XmasLove trees..you may take a picture every year now to show us..I will be happy to view them. ((((pye))))*hugs* and many blessings to you.

pyewacket (11565) | 2 years ago | I'm sorry to hear you didn't have your own tree...here's hoping you'll have one next Christmas (((hugs))) It truly was such a surprise that some MyLotters helped me out...almost ironic. My "real" life friends, that is the ones I can see everyday,like my friend down the block and whom I've known for years knew of my lack of funds yet never offered to "help" me out...yet here at MyLot some people banded together, people that I may never meet were willing to help. I'm glad to know friends here at MyLot have helped you, as I remember you were going through a shaky time of it yourself...hope everything is better for you now...is it?

TheHairDresser (3366) | 2 years ago | pye dear The Christmas Tree was the least of my worries this year, although I dare say I would have loved one! The lights and the smell bring such comfort to me. The one blessing was that my family survived that terrible fire, however hard it made life for us, it is still a miracle that no one burned. No worries, love. I am always happy to see my friends happiness, for it makes me very happy too. Thank you for sharing and caring your love pye. (((pye))):)*

pyewacket (11565) | 2 years ago | That must be the greatest blessing of all for you that you and your family survived the fire...that in itself is a mighty miracle

4. theprogamer (7518) | 2 years ago | Dag, sorry I missed all of the action Pye. I think the tree event was pretty awesome.
As for your discussion part, I really didn't have a holiday where things didn't look too bright. And there weren't any instant luck-miracle changes that occured, at least not like what you described.

pyewacket (11565) | 2 years ago | Naughty naughty for missing all the action..LOL. Here's hoping that one day you will have some little good-luck miracle of your own:)

pyewacket (11565) | 2 years ago | I do feel sad now though...I took down all my decorations (finally) last week except the tree...but alas, tomorrow might be my last day with it...I think even my kitties will miss it as they loved to sleep under their little private forest. Being the Scenic designer in me from college days, all those "presents" under the tree were actually empty boxes I wrapped up to look like presents..hehe.

6. OreoCookie3 (18226) | 2 years ago | I love your tree Pye! I really wanted and needed a car a few years ago and I had been praying for one. One day this guy at church whispered in my ear during service and asked me to come outside, he needed to talk to me. I knew the guy so I wasn't concerned, just wanting to know what was on his mind. Well, he said the Lord had told him to gift me with his car. He had a Toyota Turcell (not sure if I spelled it right) anyway it was a 1989... old... but fully functioning. I drove that car for years until I got another one. I gifted that car to the church and got the other one and the other one went kaput in no time... but now I ahve a good car.
That wasn't really on Christmas, but it was close enough to Christmas that I considered it my Christmas gift from God and my brother in Christ.

pyewacket (11565) | 2 years ago | Wow that was really wonderful how you got your car. Isn't it great how generous people can be? We hear so much negative, dismal and gloomy stuff most times...especially on the news, so it's nice to hear that spirit of giving DOES really does exist and is alive and well

|
pyewacket (11565) | 2 years ago | Oh--saw your comment with the photo....yes, I had to water that tree everyday...it was one mighty thirsty tree....hehe...

8. sumofalltears (2647) | 2 years ago | I don't get holiday miracles....but sometimes just something that happens sort of makes a great day for me. A while back my best friend sent me some pictures and he included the one that has been my favorite for a long time and he sent an audio of himself and his sons doing one of their favorite songs and then sent me his favorite guitar pick to go with it...it was a very special package....lol.
I am glad you got a tree for Christmas it makes a difference sometimes in how you handle the holiday.

pyewacket (11565) | 2 years ago | That sounded so wonderful of your friend to send you those photos and the audio..really does sound like it was a special package must have made your day, if not that whole week?:)

9. zukepr (11799) | 2 years ago | Well no wonder you didnt want to take it down! That is a very lovely tree! The stuffed animals around it is a very cute touch

pyewacket (11565) | 2 years ago | A real throw back to my scenic design days as a Drama Major...I added all those things under the tree to make it look more festive...the wrapped presents are just empty boxes that I wrapped up to look like presents. Tomorrow I'm sadly going start taking the decorations and lights off, then Monday the tree will go....waaahhhhhh, sniffle, sniffle..

10. keepermykitty (1378) | 2 years ago | That is a special tree that must have been while I was gone alot between me and Zues both not feeling so well I was gone alot, but I do remember that one ... I don`t remember if I responded or not cause I didn`t feel well and wasn`t at the puter for long periods at a time and if I remember right that was a long post even longer than this one ... But yes last New Years was one I`ll never forget, friends went and bought a scooter for me as a gift and surprised me with it ... I had been needing one and couldn`t get one myself so they went and got one for me still I cry when I think about it ... I`m so happy to be here more ... Zues suddenly is back to his ol self feeling much better, I`m just wondering how long that will last .... So I`ll be here more I hope ...
| |

|
|
pyewacket (11565) | 2 years ago | My prayers go to you keepermykitty for both you and Zues that both of you feel better....That was such a wonderful thing of your friends to get you that scooter for you. Yes, when things like this happen and you get something so unexpectedly it almost seems "magical" doesn't it?
| |
|
|
keepermykitty (1378) | 2 years ago | It sure does, makes you believe again thats for sure ...
