Autumn's flaming vibrancy has given way to others of God's miracles - mystically gray dawns, steaming bursts of breath, the sparkle and crunch of late frosts turned to snow. As nature's displays shift so do we, exchanging our outreaching outdoor lives for the coziness of simmering vats of soups, blazing fireplaces, ovens bursting with confections baked with love, and drawers filled with woolens in jewel tones and soft heathers. Twinkling, colored lights and flickering candles brighten the lengthening nights.
With each celebration of Christmas, we gather our families and friends nearer to us. The season reawakens thanksgiving, forgiveness and love in our hearts. Some family holiday tables include a recently emptied chair, while others expand to make way for a new, toothless grin. The circle of life is complete, perhaps never more poignant than when the calendar is announcing the arrival of a new year.
At this time, we wish you gatherings filled with love and laughter, snippets of time in which to reflect on your blessings, joyous memories of those who have gone before, and moments spent with wide-eyed smiling children to keep you young. And for the New Year, we pray you are blessed with good health, prosperity, and always, peace
