A Friend's Tree

I suppose, in a way, not getting a good blip can be the sign of a day fully lived, which today has definitely been. All my kids here overnight and all day, wonderful food, and good times together, and two excellent services.

The kids did a musical this morning - A Ruff Night in Bethlehem - they were wonderful and funny, and two of the lads did some rap, but I was caught unaware by how moved I was at the song little Mary sang about hanging on to the angel's promise that her baby was God's son when she realised he would have to be born in a stable.

Today's advent quote - in tiny writing to fit it in the window: Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands! Serve the Lord with gladness! Psalm 100: 1-3.
