DISTINCT

I am so happy that everything went so well at Christmas and that everyone travelled safely and our time together was so enjoyable.

All the family gatherings that the rest of our families had together also looked wonderful.  Great to see pictures on facebook.  I had thought we would have lunch today, Wed. with Leah and Craig but evidently they are back in Ashcroft.  Hard to keep up with these young people.

So many choices to be made at Christmas time. From the decorations, to our choice of gifts, to the food we will eat,to the games we may play and also just as important  the less fortunate we can help;  to the time we spend just visiting and cheering up the lonely.
 
Yesterday  dad enjoyed some hockey and then we did our visiting and we had planned a walk but we left it until too late.


  I believe that if we could discover the true meaning of the words of Jesus we would find his distinctive contribution to our thoughts and actions would be to build up and love one another. 

 Healing words of acceptance and grace are  I believe is a universal message that echoes in the words of all paths of faith.    I also  believe in the super-natural. 

How can we believe in an invisible God. totally undetectable, unobservable and imperceptible to our senses.  I believe that He is invisible for our protection.  God is distinct and different from us human beings.  How very creative!  And yet in some strange way we can feel and know he is present because of Christmas.  The mystery of God becoming one of us!
