I don't know if it's my age(qualifying for Medicare in the Spring—gulp!) or the horrific sorrow that exists upon this magnificent planet caused by mankind, but everything now bears the stamp of poignancy to me. I have to make a conscious effort daily to center my attention on what is true and good and kind. Christmas has always felt like a reprieve from the harshness of life and as Alexander Smith stated "...the day that holds all time together." Joy to the world and to the Terry family.<br />P.S. I just placed my order for Edward's Christmas story as I want him to remain a part of my life too.

I being also of Celtic descent, love listening to Celtic Christmas radio during season, I love the story songs and the many old favorites I remember from my childhood. It is on 24-7 currently! Many blessings to you and your family during this season!marcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907117038329289549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-70565361480004819292017-11-20T16:44:59.465-05:002017-11-20T16:44:59.465-05:00Thank you for this post that expresses so much of ...Thank you for this post that expresses so much of what I know to be true. I have said for many years that Christ must be appalled by what is being taught and preached in his name. The meek will inherit the earth. Truth and holiness are our goals. In these days of turmoil I cling to this, knowing that righteousness will win out. I, too, am looking forward to Christmas this year--almost bought a tree yesterday, but am holding off. There is much to celebrate if we can allow ourselves to connect to the good, beautiful and life-giving.<br />Wishing you a joyous season--I'll be watching on Instagram and here.<br />xoxoxo MaryMJH Design Artshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752876154227590389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-84686705377870289142017-11-18T14:29:56.587-05:002017-11-18T14:29:56.587-05:00Hello Pamela.

Your own version of hygge.<br />I am not religious and don't call myself a Christian, but I feel like I admire (and attempt to follow) many of the moral teachings of Christ more than most Christians I know. I am also sickened by the hypocrisy, but in spite of the people currently in power and their followers, I still believe most people are good. I plan to surround myself with my kind and thoughtful friends and family this holiday season, and tune out the evil, at least for a while.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05256823616145598087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-77591330968456096672017-11-17T15:11:31.390-05:002017-11-17T15:11:31.390-05:00How wonderful.

Your sweater is so lovely and will always have Edward inextricably bound within it. <br /><br />Among those who call themselves Christians, there are some who earnestly wish to follow His teachings and some who make a mockery of them. My concern needs to be what people think of Christ, not of me. I can’t hope to lessen confusion in the minds of others if I seem to deny Him. I will continue to call myself a Christian.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13204127165550190242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-45992045789814770012017-11-16T17:39:00.213-05:002017-11-16T17:39:00.213-05:00A very special event happened in Australia just th...A very special event happened in Australia just this past Wednesday. The results were announced of the same sex marriage survey. Everyone had received a simple voting card with the request to indicate support or otherwise for the right of people who identify as LGBT to marry. 61% of Australians gave their blessing. An emphatic song of joy from nearly 8 million Australians (we are a small country population wise). A day of light in these dark times and now we trust our politicians to respect the will of the people and pass the bill to make it law. We still have those on the right trying to limit the scope of the bill but the people will prevail.OneEnglishLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04747109933032515147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-85018740275329219542017-11-16T16:13:44.707-05:002017-11-16T16:13:44.707-05:00what a wonderful post. the two trailers are defini...what a wonderful post. the two trailers are definitely on my movie list. and several of the books. <br />my book of Edward's midnight voice is always out for my Christmas and will be read and re~read. <br />the stag sweater you knitted is fabulous. and especially dear because of a beloved's white fur finding its way into the weave! <br />and dearest Pamela. yes.<br />john's words are my own too. thank you for that link.<br />"I want out of their fold.

You are a talented knitter. Lie Donna, I gave up up years ago but would like to start again. One day soon, I hope. I doubt that even if I live to be 100 I;ll ever knit someting that beautiful, though.<br /><br />So glad to hear that your memories of Edward are so warm, and that he is now a special part of Scotland. He was truly someone special.<br /><br />These days are grim, indeed, and we must not accept the version of "Christianity" being foisted on us by the likes of that unfortunate person in the White House. <br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving, Pamela.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16148984113186294070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-73107354909714224382017-11-16T14:36:44.812-05:002017-11-16T14:36:44.812-05:00Thank you for the list of books.

So many other things I liked, too, including your concerns about what has happened to the Christian faith. I'm a Christian, but I don't go to church formally, and I am appalled at how the so called "Christian" right have hijacked the term and claimed it for their views, which are antithetical to Christ's preaching. But I'm going to continue to call myself Christian and chastise those who are using the term falsely. These are some of the false prophets Christ warned against.<br />Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-13164901521600884332017-11-16T14:29:04.942-05:002017-11-16T14:29:04.942-05:00

Still have some skeins of the softest furry wool from Paris. I have to relearn again one day. I said the nothing new... forever and never knew it was from the bible. I lost my religion many years ago, yet all my friends are so. We just don't talk about it. I agree about the sad state of affairs in our country and think about how our country has changed. Still think of Edward and that sweater must be extra special to you.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-51702619274767260562017-11-16T09:40:42.294-05:002017-11-16T09:40:42.294-05:00Edward on Staffa.
