First, I hope Christ's Birthday is a happy one for you all.
At Casa Greybeard, there is wrapping paper all over the floor. Bellies are full. I hope you can say the same.
Hopes always run high at Christmas. It's one of those important days we all hope will be perfect, and we're disappointed when it's not. Too many focus on Christmas's commercial aspects.
As I've gotten older, I've learned to put more emphasis on family and fellowship. My Mother is here with us, and at 81, with all the health complications that have come in her last few years of life, we are blessed that she is as healthy and mobile as she is. Just having her here today has made this Christmas a good memory.
For those of us that have been fortunate enough to serve our country, this day comes with certain baggage. We know all too well that we have Men and Women putting their lives on the line so the rest of us can celebrate this holiday in safety and without fear of religious persecution. Please, if you are comfortable doing so, say a little prayer for our troops..... overseas and otherwise.... they are all potentially at risk.
My holiday wish for you is health, happiness, and at least enough money to satisfy your needs.
I'm lookin' forward to seeing and visiting with many of you in the near future!

Well put GB!
Christmas Blessings to Everyone!
And a wonderful New Year to All!
Christmas is the fulfilment of Advent – Love/God breaks into our world – “The Word becomes Flesh” Our hope becomes reality. “Peace on Earth and good will to all”. Peace is about the future and the future is in the children of the world who need respect, understanding and love. “The Word becomes Flesh” Knowing that there is no Peace without Justice we pray that the dreams and visions we have for Justice will take flesh in our world and become a reality too.
