A day of prayer

First of all I wanted to say that my prayers goes to the the families of the people who died in the shooting today that happened at Sandy Hook School in Connecticut, U.S.A.

Secondly, I really wanted to share that I went to my second Christmas Dinner today, and it was cozy and nice and peaceful. We are 30 people all in all and there were lots of really good food to eat and drink. Henriette, the organizer(She is a physiotherapist) was so beautiful and even wearing her snowman earrings. Some of the attendees are some guys from my walking group every Tuesday and one of them(Kim) even sang a Christmas song. I will not forget this day because the people and the place have been instrumental to the changes in my life this year. My first Christmas dinner happened last Wednesday in a gourmet restaurant together with15 other people and the dinner was really superb.

and lastly, "Gifts are as the gold which adorns the temple; grace is like the temple that sanctifies the gold.---William Burkitt.
