Our humble Christmas tree decorated by my wonderful caregiver
My magnificent son Jorge and darling three-year-old granddaughter Charlotte
came to visit us on Thursday. She is a bundle of energetic joy. We could not stop smiling at her antics. What a beautiful Christmas gift they are to us. We received a puzzle set and a musical snow globe. I collect them. Charlotte proudly said that she picked out the puzzle set. 🙂 Papa is tall, Charlotte a tiny moppet –
A Holiday Prayer
A time for pondering, giving, and thankfulness
Regardless of our circumstances
Whether in a foxhole
Or a wheelchair
Feeling sad or depressed
Please know you are never alone
Someone watches over all
One whom I cannot prove exists
But who walked me through every trauma
And somehow finds a way to comfort me
I pray for those whose situations hurt their hearts and minds
That the One who comforts me
Will blanket each with peace that passes understanding
and an inexplicable joy.
Even if hope is a flickering candle,
it still lights up the darkest corner.
An ember, fading and brightening
into flame, it continues to burn.
May this hope permeate
Your soul
So you don’t ever feel
Alone again.
