2013 Project365 (Day 356)
Today my sister cooked a fabulous roast dinner for us all at lunchtime. Sunday’s are hard as Mum was really central to everything that was going on, whether she was involved at church, singing in the worship group etc., or whether she was cooking lunch for us all.
This evening The Mister, The Little Mister, my sister and I all went to church with Dad for Carols by Candlelight. It was lovely and The Little Mister spent the evening being charming and smiling and laughing at people. We had put him in his stripey Christmas pajamas before we went out so we could just put him in his cot when we got home.
It was a lovely evening. Christmas this year may be different, but the reason for the celebrations haven’t changed. If anything they have become more meaningful. The candles reminded me of the Light in the Darkness. It would be easy to be overwhelmed by the sadness and the darkness but it is the Light that must hold my gaze and my attention.
