Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
I hope you have taken advantage of all that Sister Jean Louise has been sending us.
I have had several people contact me about out next meeting in January. As far as what I am hearing, it looks like our meeting is tentatively set for January 13 in New Bern. Will this work for everyone. Please let us know?
Just as a thought and open for discussion, on TV today I heard a program discussing how many non religious Christmas songs about the season are about the desire to go home or the lonliness of the season. They showed many of the songs from White Christmas with Bing Crosby as an example; but didn't stop there, but continued with other more current musical selections. Really made me pause and spend time looking at different events in my own life and others around me.
As I told Jennifer several days ago in one of our discussions, God has seen to keep me busy enough this year that while missing the big family gatherings from years past, I have not been able to dwell or hide. Each day has brought some grace, be it helping someone else, spending time with my husband, letting go of a son whose actions have me questioning not just who I am but what did I teach him, or just spending time alone at church in front of the altar. After all isn't that what Christmas is all about? waiting for Jesus to come into my life, where I am right now
May God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit Bless You during this season of Joy and Love!
