Well good morning, it’s Friday morning and now less than 2 weeks till Christmas! I was woken up this morning by the news of my cousins new baby boy, congratulations Shaaron and David Zach!The greatest gift for Christmas!
It’s got me thinking about family and how precious and important they are, whether related by blood, marriage or love and friendship, whether miles apart or snuggled up close. We’re very blessed now for technology like Skype for being able to stay close to family even if they’re a 100 or a 1000 miles away! But we’re even more blessed that at Christmas we all come home and are able to be with the ones we love.
This time next week my immediate family will all be congregating back at Ashby HQ from our various corners of England, and I’m very much looking forward to seeing all my friends again since we all went different ways in September.
Just an extra thought that came to mind; On the first Christmas, Mary and Joseph left their families but spent Christmas surrounded by their new family who were united not by blood or by marriage or even a long lasting friendship but by faith.
Just something to think about over this festive time, I hope you enjoy spending time with your families, however you’re related, and safe journeys for anyone who’s travelling to be with the ones they love.
