T he wind is mischievously blowing the fluffy flakes of snow about this afternoon. Hither and yon like a game of tag they float gently almost settling on the ground only to be swept up by a jovial gust of wind to touch the top of a tree. Up and down, around and around they go to eventually settle with their friends who have been sidelined on the ground.
This playfulness reminds me of the child-like awe that I sometimes struggle to bring to this season of joy. You may have some memories in the distant past that some how take on a new sting, or be missing a loved, this time of year, too. Then now would be a good time to sit with a cuppa of your favorite tea, hot chocolate or latte and share the memories and the truths that you know in your heart and pause to savour them, nuture them lovingly like a child, so they will grow and heal that corner of your heart.
Please feel welcome to join the party at silkenpurse.blogspot.com for "Wednesday Tea for Me and Thee," and bring a friend. The more the joy!!
Isaiah 66:13 As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you;Luke 2:10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.

My friend, I really enjoyed your sweet post! Thought provoking for sure! My heart really does go out to so many this time of the year! Many have a difficult time seeing through the pain of...well, whatever memories or circumstances that they find themselves in and Christmas time seems to heightened these feelings. My prayers are with these dear, sweet souls! I rejoice in the real reason for the season...Jesus!!! He is the only one that can bring true healing to the downtrodden! I really do appreciate all you have written and the sweet scripture that you included! Thank you, my friend!!!
Now...about these darling little teacups with the bears! They are absolutely precious, Pam! It would be so much fun having a cuppa in one of these pretties! Thank you for sharing them with us!!!

My dear friend, I tried in vain the day after you posted this lovely new post to comment, yet alas blogger would not recognize my password even after, "refreshing", so and after seven tries I had to go out and haven't stopped running until now!.., (Then later, as I thought would be the case, I logged into my own blog no problem; so then I was able to hop over to you once in)!!..,
ReplyDeleteOh well my dear, what darling bears! ~ How sweet!~ Excellant and utterly charming prose and writing as usual, I was utterly entranced!~I also see what a marvelous job you've done with recreating your blog's look;("justifying the script to the left")~ Good for you!
~ It looks great Paper Butterfly!..,I hope you're continuing to have a blessed and wonderful Christmas season!~ Wishing you and yours the merriest and most wondrous Christmas season yet as we celebrate Christ's birth!
