Christmas in Storefront Windows and the end of it all







These were all taken in NYC,  a week BEFORE Thanksgiving.
I am still at my parent's house.
I gave out wash clothes I knit while here, and am glad to have more time
to spend with my parents; I saw my Grandmother and others today also.
I am glad to see my family....
*
I have heard two homilies recently of how 
we cannot stop change, we must think about the fact that one day
we too will die - that we here is only temporary and how we must 
be rich towards God.
*
I am always reminded of that when I visit my family.
I will be 39 years old soon, my parents are retired, all will change....
*
I find with all the distractions via technology and such,
that it is a struggle to remember God and keep
Christ as the Centre of our lives.
*
May He help us prepare for His first coming at Christmas
and His second coming which we all await.

I had similar thoughts about those who are not with us and yep, I'm aging. Nice tree spotting :)

Lovely trees, but far, far too early to put them up before Thanksgiving!
May your Nativity Fast be richly blessed.
