Dear friends, Happy Saturday! Happy Boxing Day! A quiet day today after yesterday's Zoom calls with family, time with my kids and Bryan, and turkey dinner. Alysse and Bryan are already home, Bryan's allergies getting the better of him unfortunately, the poor guy. Today, it's Boxing Day brisket! Woohoo! May your day be delicious! God bless! Jesus, the Light of the World, as we celebrate your birth, may we begin to see the world in the light of understanding you give us. As you chose the lowly, the outcasts, and the poor to receive the greatest news the world had ever known, so may we worship you in meekness of heart. May we also remember our brothers and sisters less fortunate than ourselves in this season of giving. Amen. Karen L. Oberst

Dear friends, Happy Friday! Happy Christmas! May you find what you need to recharge this Christmas and may the miracle of the Messiah bring hope, peace, joy and love to you and those you love. May your day be joyous! God bless! Grant, O God, that your holy and life-giving Spirit may so move every human heart, that barriers which divide us may crumble, suspicions disappear and hatreds cease; that our divisions being healed, we may live together in justice and peace; through ...Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. See more

Dear friends, Happy Thursday! Happy Christmas Eve! I'm up with the chickens today and I hear that it's a soggy day out there. Dialysis is earlier because the buses stop running at 3:15pm. Cavan has a covid-19 test scheduled for 9am, so he'll drop me off at about 8:40. Other than that, Zoom church at 4:30. A quiet Christmas Eve. May your day be peaceful. God bless! Jesus, the Light of the World, as we celebrate your birth, may we begin to see the world in the light of the un...derstanding you give us. As you chose the lowly, the outcasts, and the poor to receive the greatest news the world had ever known, so may we worship you in meekness of heart. May we also remember our brothers and sisters less fortunate than ourselves in this season of giving. Amen. See more

Dear friends, Happy Wednesday! I'm not going to let dull and dreary weather get me down on baking day! Of course I also have laundry to do and a bedroom to tidy, and we just remembered that we have a chiropractor appointment, which will hopefully tune us up before lockdown! May your day be productive! God bless! Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this life, in which your Son Jesus Christ came to vi...sit us in great humility; So that, at the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal. Amen. See more

Dear friends, Happy Monday! It's looking a little brighter outside this morning, although the driveway is icy. Be careful out there, wherever you are! I'm up early with a list of things to do before I head out to dialysis with my friend. Getting it all done means I have a resting day tomorrow with just a bit of baking and wrapping. Yay me! That should also mean that I can attend Christmas Eve Zoom church Thursday, unless I find some things I have forgotten! May your day be e...ventful with relaxation on the horizon! God bless! O God, who orders all things in heaven and earth: Help me to go about the tasks and duties of this day with the remembrance that I am your servant therein. Make me honest, painstaking, and cheerful, and grant that all I do and say may bring good to others and glory to your Holy Name; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
