“To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.”
Calvin Coolidge
Wishing you peace and joy today and throughout the year ahead.
I am passionate about photography, love traveling and exploring new places and faces, and seeing the world from different perspectives. My lens is always on the lookout for something beautiful or interesting.
I just quoted Dale Evans in my children’s message at church: “Christmas, my child, is love in action. Every time we love, every time we give, it’s Christmas.” We must be riding the same think train. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to you too Jeanna, thanks for stopping by
Thank you Tina! Same to you!
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!!
Thanks Nora. Hope you were with your little grandson! It makes Christmas really special when little ones are a part of it!
Merry Christmas!!!
Thanks Meikah. And a belated Merry Christmas to you too
I hope you had a blessed Christmas, Tina.
Thank you Janet – quiet but lovely. You?
Pretty much the same. We Zoomed Christmas morning with everyone, including my sisters-in-law in Ohio, New York , and France. Then time with my parents later.
Yep, we’re lucky we have technology which isn’t the same but beats nothing by a bit at least!
It beats nothing by a lot! And to be able to share the celebration
With someone overseas? Priceless!
Wishing you blessings of the season, Tina, and all the best, peace and health for 2022!
Many thanks Ellen, and the same to you and yours.
