So many are leaving for holiday travels today.  I hear roller suitcases on the sidewalk below my window and know that folks are heading out to the airport after work today.  It is a wonderful time of year to be together and, in most cases these days, being together means travel of some kind or another.  So, travel safely and remember to pack patience and joy so that we don’t get annoyed by the normal disturbances of modern travel – to say nothing of the weather!

One of our sons will be joining us here in DC for the holidays and we are excited for his arrival.  Because we will be spending time together, celebrating, and visiting local sights, I will not be blogging for the upcoming week.

Come back again next year and let’s continue the conversation!  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone!  May the blessings of our God, who has come to live among us, bring you grace and peace during this season and always.
