Family Christmas Day 21

 
 
 
As Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem I can imagine the journey was quite long. Mary was expecting child and was like most pregnant ladies a bit more tired than usual. The extra luggage that Mary carried in the form of a baby inside of her belly was most something she loved and looked forward to but most likely slowed her down. I am sure that the road that they traveled at times seemed to be never ending. Whether their was a donkey present or not is something that has been debated. but I sort of hope that there was a donkey and it helped the pair on their journey.
 
Tonight, the shortest night of the year, take a load off and sit down and rest for a bit. For while the light of the world may be dark the light inside of hearts is very much a glow. Take a time to sit down and have dinner with the family by candlelight.
 
 
With the winter solstice being the shortest day of the year you may want to enjoy dinner by candlelight. It does not have to be a fancy dinner to eat by candlelight. Many years ago families ate by candlelight daily. Tonight take some time relax, have some good conversation and enjoy dinner by the flicker of candlelight

    This is such a lovely reminder to keep going and to never lose hope. If Mary had enough faith in her that everything will be better, then so should we. Thank you.

      yes you are so right the problem is our world sometimes gets in the way and our faith may need a reboot of just sitting back being quiet and knowing what we al ready know

    I went to bed early as my eyes were in great pain, recovering from surgery. However, I was very grateful that I have a comfortable bed. :)
