I was unable to light the candle on the advent wreath.
HOPE the first Sunday as we approach the remembrance of our Saviours Birth. We worshipped as usual but without the HOPE Reminder candle,
On this midweek blog I simply remind all of us that the HOPE of Christmas must be the flame that inside of us by Hs Presence within must again radiate to all around us as we again navigate our way through the secular,
let’s today offer up a prayer of thanksgiving because long ago a child was born and HE Alone LIGHTS the pathway to ETERNITY,
HIS HOPE FOR MANKIND requires no external ignition,
Have a Happy Christmas journey. TOGETHER as redeemed children we once again celebrate the wonder of HIS BIRTHDAY,
I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
