Light of the world

My friend gifted me this Christmas candle last year and it has been sat waiting until Christmas Eve this year to be lit. It is lit for both joy and loss. Joy that the Lord Jesus brought light and hope to people around the world and in remembrance of our mother who died 7 years ago on Christmas Day.

Happy Christmas to those in the southern hemisphere who are already there and to those of us in the north still waiting. May the season bring you great joy and love which will carry you throughout the year.

On a practical front, veggies prepped already, lamb defrosting, dessert made for Christmas lunch and all ironing done and put away. I am ready :-)
