We should be anticipating something more still, more quiet, and definitely more permanent to last all year. We should anticipate our own transformation as we kneel by the manger and see God's greatest miracle. You have done a lot, Mags, and i hope these last days before the arrival of the baby will be peaceful, rich ones for you.M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7608530810701782531.post-69893271612462749462014-12-21T20:12:21.129+00:002014-12-21T20:12:21.129+00:00Part of me is looking forward to relaxing at Chris...Part of me is looking forward to relaxing at Christmas, and the other part is grieving the related loss of focus and discipline.

I do not resent that one little bit- but sometimes feel just a teeny bit pressured!!<br />I think I am looking forward to 1am Christmas morning - Bob and I are both conducting midnight services, and so we will get home as the Day begins and have a few precious quiet moments together with the Newborn King. THAT will be precious.<br />blessings dear friend xxAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.com
