A Great Light -Postcard Friendship Friday #289


Thanksgiving was wonderful--family, friends, good food--lots of laughter and music.  It was joyful.  My Beloved husband, who left for heaven a little over a year ago, would have been delighted.  Our small niece was playing my daughter's tiny pink Ukulele.  And wow!  She is doing GREAT for her age--music runs in our veins.

In fact, after Thanksgiving dinner, we had a regular Hootenanny.  With three ukuleles, the big bass fiddle and a guitar we made quite a little band.  We sang and laughed and joked--ah, we made some precious memories yesterday. 

And now Christmas is just around the corner.  I have always loved Christmas--this year, with my sis and niece living with me, we will actually decorate for the holiday.

I am so glad we have a special day to celebrate the greatest story ever told.  Isaiah 9:2 of the Old Testament of the Bible prophesied, "The people who walk in darkness will see a great light; Those who live in a dark land, The light will shine on them."  God sent His dear One to earth--He is the light-bearer, the one honored at Christmas.

I love the idea of God's Light upon earth. Light is warmth and illumination.  I know what it is like to live in darkness and depression--feeling so lost and alone--these words found in Matthew 4:15 are a great comfort to me.  "The people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned."   

Merry Christmas dear ones.  May God bless you with His light, joy and comfort.

Thanksgiving Day -Postcard Friendship Friday #288


Three years ago November 17th, Daddy flew away to heaven.  This is a poignant week for our family.  Yet, with all the sorrow we have had over the past few years--there is much for which to be thankful.

I was blessed with a Daddy who loved me.  He taught me about God--because of my Dad, I understood how God the Father loved me.  I remember the way his eyes would crinkle when he would smile--love would just beam from his eyes.  Dad was kind and brave and SO much fun.

I am thankful for the memories of my Beloved husband.  Ah, I miss his laughter, humor and the way he loved me and my kids.  I am incredibly grateful for my children--they gift my life with light and hope.  I have a wonderful Mom--Mumsie is one of my best Friends--what would I do without her wisdom and tenderness in my life?

I am deeply blessed to have brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews--and friends who are family.

I am grateful for God's tender loving care.  For the world He created--all the beauty I see around me.  I am grateful God sent His Son, the Shepherd Who Loves me...so that I will be able to see my Daddy, Brother and Beloved again someday.  And so many others who have gathered in Heaven over the past 15 years.

Through the tears, there is a kind of inexplicable joy.

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Postcard Friendship Friday, dear Friends.
