Well Christmas day has lit it’s way around our spinning globe and now we wake to the sleepy remainder of Christmas week giving way to anticipation of a new year emerging.
Thank you for taking time to walk through the Christmas story with me this season. Next Christmas my hope is that I will have the 12 days of Christmas also written so that our ‘slow Christmas movement’ will continue into the new year.
I will write to you again very soon with some news for the coming Easter season this new year, and then for a little while this corner of the internet will fall silent. Like a seed sleeping in the earth.
My prayer for you, that I have prayed as you read (when you were able) this story of Christ’s arrival on earth, is that boxing day would find you wanting more. More of Him. More time in His story. And that the wanting would encourage you to seek Him out as the Magi did. To search for this baby born King over all the earth.
So even as my letters to you now slow down, don’t let your search for Him match the slowing ebb. Rather, speed up your search, your wanting, your reaching, your prioritising of time in His story. Because the promise God once whispered to an Israel in exile is true for each of us exiled in our rush,
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah 29:13
So Christmas blessings my friend. I’ll write again soon.
Until then let’s keep seeking Him. This baby born King. The Lord of Heaven and earth.

Thanks again Liz for this time of reflection. Dean and I have enjoyed the readings each day and often it what was what we needed at that moment.
We continue to pray God’s blessings on you and your family, and the ministry God has given you.
Kathy and Dean
