A break from the usual

 


Hello everyone since the year is drawing to a close, I will be taking a short break from my usual daily post, I will still be posting just not the normal content, till January.

Christmas is usually a happy and cherished time around the world, although in some parts of the world there is war and civil unrest, and such things can make it difficult for some to truly appreciate this time of year.

Christmas means different things to everyone, for some it is about presents, for some it’s about spending time with family but what it should be about is remembering who’s birth we are celebrating.

I do not believe one needs to go to church to praise and honour God and Jesus as long as one does. We do not need to be on bended knee to pray, God hears our prayers even if one is sitting on the toilet.

I feel we should spend Christmas with those who love and care for us and yes exchange gifts, enjoy some food have some grog if you want and feel loved and accepted for who you are. If you are alone on Christmas Day turn on some music or turn on your telly and feel at peace. I just hope you don’t feel lonely.

That’s all for now, I will be back tomorrow.

  1. My husband is overseas and although he will be back soon, the loneliness has been horrible. Imagine being an elderly single person or widow
