| The holy family. I hand painted the marmorite statue some years ago |
A warm feeling of serenity comes over me when i light my Advent candle..
With the shops full of materialistic trappings , and the frenzy of "I must buy this or that".. I like to think that we have not forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. That we all take time to remember what its all about!
A time of peace and love ,spend time with our family and dear friends ..
Waking in the morning and while having my tea.. (I am sure you guessed by now, I love my early morning tea, its my quiet time).. I reflect on the previous days happenings taking time to write in my diary and plan my day ahead.
This morning the journey of Mary and Joseph come to mind and how difficult it must have been for them during such hard hostile times. To travel and eventually find a safe place in the stable, at last peace came to them .
As the years go by and my children grown. Christmas for me is not so hectic. This week I have been taking my christmas decorations out ready to decorate ,and leave some last minute touches for my grandchildren.
I will be blessed with my 4 beautiful children and my 6 grandchildren around my yule tide table this year.
We will enjoy some of our old family traditions.-. Sing christmas carols and thank our dear Lord for all good things.
Wishing all my new blogging friends a happy peaceful Sunday..
