One does not have to raise one\u2019s head and look up to see this. The glow presence is inside us as well for all the preparation we have been making during these waiting-in-hope days of advent.<\/p>\n

Dark shadow land surrenders slow<\/p>\n
Wholeheartedly to growing glow<\/p>\n
all earth and sky will light again<\/p>\n
rejoicing in redeeming reign…<\/p>\n
within my heart new flame is lit<\/p>\n
and burns with hope-oil poured… for with<\/p>\n
the pass of days new age will dawn<\/p>\n
as God on earth as child is born.<\/p>\n

It is going to be a good week for me surely, not rushed and nothing heavy happening. There will be visits from friends returning from abroad, a wedding to attend and general cleaning up and getting ready for the Christmas holidays. And, of course, the happy time meeting and catching up with family over Christmas lunch….plus other surprise things for sure…<\/p>\n
And the week after that leads to the new year. Lots to look forward to there !<\/p>\n
May there be lots for you to look forward to as well.<\/p>\n
Take care. Love, Terry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
