"Peace is better than understanding"

Landon, 5 years old



Advent Peace to you.

That time of year ...

It's that time of year once more!

When I prepare a family favorite ...

And gaze upon two, 

new,

Jesus-Children!

Angels of the New Millenium

one year later ...

it is difficult to believe it's been a year since last i wrote

and yet much has happened in the moments in between ...

what i am doing in this moment ...

making one of my family's FAVORITE holiday foods! we call it canasta mix and it would put Chex Mix out of commission.

putting something together for our family gift-swap on

Christmas eve ...

LOVING this little Jesus-Child ...

MISSING greatly the earthly presence of this dear angel ...

(8/1/1927 - 6/15/2009)

CHRISTmas Blessings ... and a pause

May the Song of the Season

warm your heart

and fill your soul with Love.

Christmas Blessings to

you and yours ...

I shall be away for a bit ~ a pause that refreshes ...

But please do have a comfortable cup of tea while I am gone.

waiting ...

"We live from peak event to peak event,

from brightness to brightness,

resisting the flat terrain of ordinary time ~

the in-between time.

Waiting is the in-between time.

It calls us to be in this moment ..."

from When the Heart Waits by Sue Monk Kidd

Advent 2008

Spirit of Illumination,

guide our path through this season of waiting ...
