Christmas

For somehow, not only at Christmas,
but all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others
is the joy that comes back to you.
-John Greenleaf Whittier

When are we going to learn that Christmas Peace comes only when we turn and face the darkness? Only then will we be able to see the Light of the World.
-Ann Weems

Thankfulness

It is Sunday and the house is quiet. Gail and Harry are asleep. It is chilly today by FL. standards; people in the North East under all that snow would scoff and me saying it is chilly. I pray for all those folks stranded in airports. It might be days. Chris is in Wichita after a long drive from New Mexico. He sets out for Florida on Tuesday to be home for Christmas. I am thankful for my family and this quiet time.

Dear Family, Friends and Others,

After a long illness, I am now on my way back to recovery. Suffice it to say, I am doing well and want to once again share thoughts for This Day. I don't know if I will be able to send every day but I do want to share some of these "gems" with you. They are not mine, so don't ask me to explain them. They are simply my gift to you. As always, if I can pray for you just let me know. Please let me know if you want me to remove your name from the list. Here is the first installment.

Regardless of how severely the winds of adversity may blow,
we set our sails toward joy.
-Charles Swindoll
