Well here I am the 20th of December and instead of wrapping up the the last of my Christmas shopping I am wrapping up the last details for my flight leaving for France on January 2nd.I was so relieved to hear about my visas approval so I could finally make some definite plans. Everything has been hypothetical so long that it is strange to think that I can proceed with so many things I have talked about. Thankfully we have been keeping up on purchasing things I needed to take and the details of my housing and transportation .
So to all those who read this you are invited to attend a farewell coffee open house on New Years Day from 1-3 pm at my home. Hope to see you all before I take off.
Over the centuries and years
Christmas has stayed the same
A celebration of God's love
And of the babe that came.
While the rest of the world takes cake and
punchand marches on the mall
It is only a very few
Remembering the stall.
If only there were Shepard's here
So full of awe and fear
Then maybe more'd remember
That God's Son was here
