Thanks Nancy for your kind words. You know paying attention is such a key practice, isn’t it? I am trying when listening to someone to be fully present. Takes a lot of focus and energy. Interesting how we both are simplifying our decoration. I didn’t unpack as much either but left them in boxes. Should sort them out and downsize once the season is over. Some of the stuff is hard to get rid of since it hold memories. I love Jody’s suggestion about praying the cards too. Let’s both do that this year!

So many worthwhile suggestions for savoring the season. I, too, want to “pay attention to what really matters and ignore the trivial,” as well as “thank God each day for that day’s offering.” You and I had the same idea to reread Jody’s book with more personal application the second time, since the first time was focused on presenting it to others. Even as I began decorating this year, her idea to simplify came to mind. So I didn’t put out everything, and I didn’t hang every ornament. Less to dust now; less to put away later! Another suggestion of Jody’s: pray over the Christmas cards. Looking forward to doing that, too.

Looks like we are both being invited to consider simplicity. Thank you for your kinds words too. Hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving

Your heart of being present in His presence during this season especially shines through your words here!
