Christmas and all the activities

Christmas is fast approaching. The season is definitely here with Christmas turkeys on sale.....Christmas concerts being performed at school......shopping becoming more hectic....silent/quiet Longest Night retreats/meditations in the santuary of the church....

Christmas cards!

Wind storms. (I haven't ridden my bike since the first wind storm and then snow storms!!! I miss it.)

Christmas Cards from new friends ......... like our new friend, S., who lives in Bristol, England but who is visiting her brother and family in Africa. She sent us a Christmas card from there. She reads my blog, she said...even from Africa.

Well, if you notice, I have a map on my blog site. You can click on it and discover where in the world people are that access my blog.

Now, when I see the red dot on Africa, it probably is my dear friend, S.

The dot on southern Australia is most likely my distant cousins, G. and M.!

The dot on Japan could be our dear Japanese "daughter" who was Homestay student.

Other dots are where friends, aquaitances and/or relatives live...and almost relatives. Others are people I don't know! This is another mystery!!!!

Welcome to all readers...you who are dear friends, you who are dear relatives...you who are acquaintances...and other unknown readers. It's all a mystery. Lovely!!!

A blog, I've discovered, can be a gift.....connecting people to people all over the world.
My prayers are for you... Love, joy and peace and a growing knowledge of the Mystery of Him "who is closer than a brother" ..... to all who read this blog.
