I received a gorgeous Christmas parcel in the post the other week from a very dear someone, a kindred spirit and yesterday morning, my first morning of Christmas freedom, I sat alone on the couch, a cup of coffee in one hand and this book in the other. The James Galway Christmas album playing and all my twinkle lights on, keeping me cozy as the rain splished splashed down outside:
I have given Susan Branch books to friends over the years, but have not had one myself, so this book in particular, it being her Christmas book, is very special to me.
I came across this quote and read it and read it again. For all that is happening in the world right now, I felt that it was befitting. We are in a Season of Hope and we must continue to walk in faith:
the REAL girl says:
You are one very special person….I love seeing the book, so far across the miles, on this precious placemat…one that reminds me of growing up. We always had linens such as that from Germany in the house. Teary eyes…. yes, a kindred spirit indeed. Faith is important. Faith in what we believe and know but can’t always see….yet we feel it.
Faith.
