YESTERDAY I COMPLETED MY PAINTING OF THE SHIP . I AM HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS BUT I ALWAYS FEEL SLIGHTLY GUILTY ABOUT TAKING TIME FOR MYSELF AT THIS BUSY TIME OF YEAR.
BUT MY FRIEND, BARB, SHARED THIS BEAUTIFUL ADVENT BOOK WITH ME . IT’S CALLED ” JESUS CALLING ” AND EVERYDAY I TAKE A MOMENT TO SIT DOWN AND READ A CHAPTER ( WHICH IS REALLY ONLY ABOUT 2 PAGES) AND REMIND MYSELF THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS BUSY SEASON. I’M SURE YOU’VE HEARD THE EXPRESSION ” JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON ” . BUT FUNNILY ENOUGH SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO BE REMINDED .
AS I HAVE MENTIONED BEFORE FRIDAYS ARE SUCH SPECIAL DAYS AT THE MARIAN CENTRE FOR ME AND IT IS EVEN BETTER WHEN TERRY HAS A CHANCE TO JOIN ME. HE STARTED HIS LARGE WORK ( A PAINTING OF ONE OF THE GREENS AT HIS FAVOURITE GOLF COURSE, THE MAYFAIR) ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. WE LOADED UP THE STOVE WITH WOOD , SIPPED OUR ‘TIMMIES’ , PUT ON GOOD MUSIC, AND GOT TO OUR FUN WORK.
SO HAPPY WE GOT TO HAVE MASS AT THE END OF THE DAY WITH OUR FRIENDS WHO LIVE THERE AND A FEW GREAT CHATS TOO. ‘SANTA’ DELIVERED A PRESENT FOR THEM TOO. I HOPE THEY LIKE IT.
SOME OF MY VANCOUVER AND EDMONTON FAMILIES ARE ARRIVING FOR LUNCH TODAY SO I BETTER PREPARE. ANOTHER REASON TO CELEBRATE !
OH ! I WROTE A NEW ADVENT SONG YESTERDAY. I AM ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING IT AGAIN AND SEEING HOW I NEED TO TWEEK IT UNTIL IT’S JUST RIGHT.
O.K. OFF TO MAKE LUNCH…… HAVE A GREAT DAY !
