Bits of holiday wrapping and scotch tape stuck to the carpet, gifts opened, candles burned to the end, boxes to be broken down, empty Christmas stockings laying under the tree, all are a reminder of the joy, laughter, and contentment that Christmas holds. At last it was over for another year, but the nostalgia and bitter sweet memories, mixed in with a few tears, will remain always in my heart.
The two nativity sets we have are still lighted. I have a few more days to gaze upon and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. Our "gift" given freely and yet, some do not embrace.
It is a new year, a new beginning. I have let go of the past year, and look forward with hope to the coming months ahead. God only knows what is in store for all of us, but be assured, that no matter what surprises this next year may bring, God will be there with us to gently guide us in the way we are to go.
NEW YEAR BLESSINGS TO ALL!

Dear Ginny,
My thoughts exactly. I always love the clean unclutter look after Christmas when all is put away, but I still feel a bit lonesome for the season as it comes and goes so quickly. So wonderful to know we can keep that spirit in our hearts all year long.
Sorry to hear you and C have a flu bug. My prayers are with you for a fast recovery.
Thank you for stopping by. Wishing you and your dear family and great new year and many blessings in 2012
Love to you sisterfriend, CM

I hope 2012 brings you health, joy and everything else you need.
I often keep you in my prayers. You are sweet and unforgettable!
I hope you stop by Jesus Knows You Best anytime and say Hello....
