How wonderful it is to sit nice and warm at home after an encouraging and enlivening Lord's day! Dani and I just spent a delightful hour down at EQ (in the last week of its existence, oh alas alas!) and truly enjoyable was it to sit on the porch there in the fading light of evening on this December evening. Dani read a bit more of her book (she's almost done with Wrinkle in Time!!) and I read a bit more of the Spurgeon I'm currently reading for Advent season (Good Tidings of Great Joy - a wonderful book dwelling on the miracle and loveliness of the incarnation!) and it was ever so refreshing to sip tea, read and enjoy each other's company. Now...home again and I really do mean to try and write something creative and we shall see if I'm successful. I've actually been writing quite a bit of creative works lately, for which I am ever so thankful to God for blessing me with such thoughts and the will to pen them. Sometimes I ponder what is the point of writing so many words - is it not all futility at the end? Smoke in the breeze and all that? Perhaps. Yet I'm grateful for the gift that is writing. Tis a wondrous gift and I will never cease to be thankful for it.
Speaking of, I shall now attempt a bit. Farewell, dear friends. Rest in the joy of the Lord this beautiful day as we dwell on the miracle that is God become Man and all that necessarily proceeds from that fount.
