For various reasons, it's going to be a very different kind of Christmas this year. This past week, as I've been preparing the house for Christmas, I've been reminiscing about Christmases past. I am so thankful for the memories but feeling sad that this one will be spent without the joys of gathering with friends and family. However, we do want to keep everyone safe so we will make the necessary adjustments and trust that the day will come when we can freely meet with others. Until then, phone calls and video chats will have to suffice. (I am very thankful for technology!!) I suspect that your holidays plans are also undergoing a similar transformation. Wishing you all the best as you reconsider how best to celebrate this season.

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and all the best in the coming year.

Thank you so much for your visits. The number of visitors has been steadily growing and I'm so encouraged! Unfortunately, I don't have as much time as I like to be active here but I will continue to post when I can. (Less demanding days are coming but they're not here yet...) Thanks again for your support. I feel blessed.
