Happy Sunday, Journeyer!
And for those who celebrate the holiday, Merry Christmas to you.
Many of this week’s happy moments have been centered around this celebration, Journeyer…
from wrapping each gift and adorning each with festive ribbons…
Warren and Big Guy helping me prepare our three-season room to accommodate the fourteen family members who would join us Christmas Eve day…
counting down the days til my extended work break…
hearing one of my second-grade students suddenly break out into song; his rendition of Silent Night was even on key!
daily Christmas music and nightly Christmas movies…
pink sunrises…
my warm down coat that blocked the wind…
ice fishing for the first time…
seeing the smile and hearing the excitement in the voice of the person who received an ice fishing hut from us for Christmas…
taking a half personal day at work so I could prepare for our guests and be able to pick Fave up at the airport…
a gift from one of my students…
daily meditations…
the satisfied feeling of accomplishing some put-off projects…
hearing how some pay it forward gifts affected the recipients…
and you, Journeyer, your messages and stories of heartache and healing and struggle and success…
I am honored to to be your neighbor and to partner with you in helping heal worlds of hurt…
For as many of us that will be celebrating the birth of Jesus, countless others will be grieving the death of something in their lives…
If you are in the latter category, please let this post serve as hope that you will find resolution in your grief…in your time…in your way…
Magic is coming to Your Neighborhood.
Yours in hope, healing, and happiness,
