I am in favour of the first Sunday after Christmas.Going to church is good because you finally know beyond all doubt what day it is and there is the faint glimmer of hope that a meal will be produced from scratch and keep you going for more than half an hour.
Actually it is more than a glimmer of hope here today as we have been invited out for lunch. This is a rare occurrence as 6 (as there are of us) is actually quite an invasion to have in your house for a meal so we are delighted and at the same time praying that the kids will come up trumps and behave like the heavenly host!!!
Church was a small select gathering. In Anglican circles the first Sunday after any big festival is known as "Low Sunday." In reality it just means that people decide to take the day off as they are all over-churched from so many services over the festive period.
The vicar that lives in this house did a good preach. We all stood to say the creed and affirmed our belief in "the communion of sins..." (Note to self...proof read more closely next time, although.....)
Beth told me not to put my arm round her in church as she didn't want her hair to become all ecstatic and let's be honest girls..we all want hair that is calm and does what it is supposed to do and not be overly happy and silly.
Today was the account of Herod killing the baby boys. Such a disturbing account and sobering to think that awful things like this are still going on throughout the world as hatred and anger flourish. How incredible that God should enter this world because He longs for these things to stop and for the hearts of everyone to be turned towards Him.One day it will be better and we can only be thankful for all the good in the world that does reflect His love and look forward to the day when all will be restored to Him completely.
Well, the time has come to go for lunch. So thankful that my kids will get decent cooking today and I don't have to do it.Shall just check my hair to make sure it is not ecstatic, slap on a bit of lippy and put the kids on good behaviour or else alert!!

Your blog is delightful. Thanks for stopping by mine. I can almost hear your British accent in your writing and it so warms my heart. Of course I am assuming you have a British accent--- do you? It is one of my most favorite sounds in the world. My southern twang just can't quite reproduce it. Anyhow--- a banana peel- yuck and smelly! You are surely feeling my pain. So, here's to no more hissies.
Happy New Year friend!
I am fairly new to blogging to. My daughter talked me ito it, asid lit will fill up my housebound times whn I'm not feeling well. I was entertained by your amusing way of putting things, especially your daughters ecstatic hair, mine has more of a bad attitude.
my daughter just moved back from Scotland, her husband was attending the U. of Edinburgh, and she brought back some Chocolate-Chai tea. I just love it, but we can't find it over here. One of the friends she made over there should be able to send us some. Have you ever tried that?
Hope you have a year full of blessings, oh yah, you will of course, having 4 children.
