Christmas (part 1) 2020

Christmas Part 1 :) 

We went to liturgy this morning.

Last night already at the Christmas Eve service, 

I was feeling so deeply grateful just to be there.

I know a lot of people were not able to be at church because of

the world wide pandemic and so I was just so aware of being glad just to be 

present in church with part of my large many-country, many-church family.

We had Photini over and it was so very nice to have her.

She is a beautiful soul and I have been so thankful for her friendship. 

The Vegan pot pie, the chicken pot pie for our friend, the vegan mushroom soup, the rolls, the salad (that I forgot to make for lunch but that we had for dinner!), the tea time that I had just with my friend.  It was a really treasured time.  She looked so beautiful with the candle light and the lights of the candles and trees glistened off of the dishes and tea set that I bought and used the first time she came over after lockdown. 

I am so very thankful.  

I still have a ways to go with Christmas as we hope to be at the Jan 7 Christmas

liturgy and break the fast then.  I have more things to bake.  I pray that God will give me the strength for this! 

Merry Christmas to you all.
