'Tis the season to be jolly, so I thought I would 'rest a minute' and 'regroup'. It has been another busy week. I have decided to sit down and 'smell the roses'...actually the coffee as I am taking the time to make a cup of raspberry & cream fresh roast. Ummmmm I am smelling it now. I have the Christmas tree lights on, Christmas music playing softly in the background and I am surrounded with ribbon and paper and gift cards and gift bags. Makes for a relaxing moment.
We had our Blue Christmas for Stephen Ministry on Mon nite and many people said they thought it was good. Too bad more don't come out. Well...I think the ones that need it ...do. Sometimes being with a lot of other people and wanting to cry or be angry is not how they 'get through it'. Others want to be with other people as they are lonely or needing comfort and compassion. The evening I think definitely does that. Wonderful music, a time of thoughtful reflection and a good sermon to help get through the coming weeks. A little refreshment doesn't hurt either!
Our ladies group is winding down as well. Next week is the Christmas Brunch and then we are off until January 18th where we will continue again with (you guessed it) another brunch!! We do love our socials! Once we finish our Sacred Roads dvd and study we will begin in February with a new book study called Prayer...Does It Make Any Difference by Phillip Yancey. Looks very interesting...a little intimidating but I think we all can handle a little 'pressure' from the inside out! I am looking forward to leading the group again.
Well, my coffee just beeped at me. It's ready....and so am I! Enjoy the rest of the evening.
