Christmas Reflection

Christmas afternoon the Sun was out, and there was not a cloud in the sky. As we’d had a pretty amazing brunch during morning worship, and a delicious meal mid-afternoon, the blue skies called me to get out and stretch my legs though a walk. I didn’t go far 1, but managed to get a…
