I wish for you and your family today, tomorrow, and always:
joy, peace, hope, laughter, and love–abundant, overflowing love.
I will light candles this Christmas
“I will light candles this Christmas;
Candles of joy despite all sadness,
Candles of hope where despair keeps watch,
Candles of courage for fears ever present,
Candles of peace for tempest-tossed days,
Candles of grace to ease heavy burdens,
Candles of love to inspire all my living,
Candles that will burn all the year long.”
“Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” ~ John 1: 3-5
Merry Christmas, Jamie! Thinking of you and yours xo

We had candles lit all night outside at George’s grandmother’s house in Danbury on Christmas Eve, and I thought of you and yours among our other friends and family (and others we’ve never met) in Newtown. So much love and light to you all; I hope you had a beautiful Christmas in spite of it all. xoxo
