Off to church........ :-D

Hello all

Beautiful words in today's Advent calendar of the Magnificat, also known as Mary's Song and written in Scripture in Luke 1: 46-55 NIV Bible.

Tomorrow the 4th Advent candle will be lighted in church. This is a pink candle and represents Mary, the Mother of Jesus.

Hoping that Cynthia is having a day off and is ok?

Keep well, and stay safe everybody.

I do hope you are OK Cynthia and that you haven’t posted today because you have been busy.

I think lots of Christmas plans have been changed since the latest restrictions announced today. We had planned to spend Christmas Day with our daughter, staying overnight and coming home next morning but if we go at all we won’t stay. We were also supposed to see our son and family for just an hour on 27th but that has gone by the board. It’s disappointing as we haven’t seen them for 14 months now but we must just make the best of it and be glad that we are all still healthy.

Take care and stay safe.

Good morning :-)

I love family traditions Gwyn and we have a couple too. I think I am going to my son's for Christmas lunch but may end up here with my daughter if there is a another spike in infections. This virus has a lot to answer for.

Cynthia
Thank you for posting the link to the calendar each day.

Today's calendar reminded me of a family tradition.

For many years now, each Christmas I take a special frosted glass winter scene tea light holder to whichever house we are going to have Christmas dinner. We place it on the dining table.
We light the flame and remember people who have shared Christmas with us in the past.
This year, my daughter here and I will light it at home.
It will be strange just the 2 of us.

Good morning :-)


Oops, sorry about that Vera, I hadn't realised the link was short.......will make sure it is right today though :-D <3

Hello all

Vera I also agree today's Advent Calendar was very profound writing from an 11 year old boy.

Such lovely news that your brother is home for Christmas..... definitely the best present ever.

Today I made a big effort and I put the tree up.
It does looks very pretty, but it's difficult here alone.

Keep well and stay safe everybody.

Good morning

I think today’s link needs extending Cynthia but pressing any of the earlier links you gave us brings up the calendar anyway. I thought that was an amazingly sophisticated piece of writing from an 11 year old.

I have lots to be joyful about this morning. My brother was sent home last night after another short stay in hospital and this morning the sun is shining. What more can I want?

Have a good day everyone and stay safe.

Good morning :-)

Good morning :-)


How good to hear that your husband is doing well Vera, but sorry that your brother isn't too well. Life certainly has it's ups and downs doesn't it? Thank you for your kind thoughts for those of us who are facing a Christmas without our beloved partners. I have already written a couple of Christmas cards with my OH's name on it and had to destroy them. Sigh. Do take care. <3

kandj ..............

I'm glad to hear your are doing OK with the Pukka tea.

I did say that I might be the only one to have a problem!!


Be safe, be calm, be happy

Joy is certainly what the world needs right now. So many people are having such a horrid time of it but, as someone who is going through a very difficult and stressful time at the moment said on another thread, I am warm, I have food and I have a roof over my head which is more than many have. I think we must all count our blessings and rejoice in those.

Thank you for enquiring about OH and my brother Kandj. It is kind of you to think of them. OH recovered well from all his problems and is now very fit, considerably fitter than many much younger men. My brother has had an up and down sort of year. The good spells have been very good but at the moment he is not very well.

I have been thinking of you Kandj as your memories must make this time of year difficult for you, and it must also be hard for Ellen, David’s wife, and our lovely Cynthia as they face the first Christmas without their partners. My love to you all.

Hello all

Gaudette Sunday and a time to rejoice.

A very dark dismal day today. I loved reading today's Advent calendar proclaiming JOY.

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King.
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven, and heaven and nature sing.

Sylvia, day 13 and I'm fine with the Pukka teabags.

Good morning :-)

Hello all

Heavy rain and it looks set for the day. Hubby would always tell me, "It's just a wet day." and it is.
I need to focus on the blessings around me.

Loving today's Advent calendar words Cynthia.
It has brought Isaiah 41 v 13 into my mind.........

For I am the Lord your God
who takes hold of your right hand, and
says; "Fear not, for I will help you."

One of my favourite verses from Scripture.

Vera, I hope your husband and your brother are both keeping well, after a difficult year for you all.

Sylvia, I do understand how your husband feels in church with no organ music or hymn singing.
It feels like something is "missing" but I'm pleased my village church is back open for worship again.

Sending hugs for those in need today. Stay safe all.

Good morning :-)

I sympathise with your OH Sylvia, hence the reason I am going elsewhere for the time being. :-D

Thanks Vera, I'm happy that you are enjoying the calendar. <3

I am enjoying the Advent Calendar very much Cynthia. Thank you.

I hope you are still enjoying your Pukka calendar Kandj and haven’t had Sylvia’s horrid reaction to the contents.

Take care and stay safe everyone.

Cynthia ............ true, I know!!

I think he's finding harder at the moment, because the music and singing is not there, and the priest is a bit of a boring sermon giver, so he's not getting that "fulfilment".

Good morning :-)

Every church I have ever known has been full of church chatterers Sylvia, sometimes good and sometimes not so good - one has to wade in carefully :-D :-D
