Come away and rest

January 14, 2023January 14, 2023 maflake

Each January I feel bittersweet as I pack up the tree ornaments and Nativities, each one holding a memory of a special person, trip, or time in my life. But while I miss the warm tree lights on these cold winter mornings, I breathe a sigh of relief to have another Christmas season behind me.… Continue reading Come away and rest

Interrupted

December 6, 2022January 14, 2023 maflake

On the Sunday night after Thanksgiving, I drove home from the Hanging of the Green service at my church, basking in the warmth of the simple joy of hearing the children sing and greeting friends. My Advent Season was off to a wonderful start. It was dark and I decided to take the backroads home… Continue reading Interrupted
