Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Happy Christmas Eve

Left the house again for my morning walk at 7:15.


The temperature was 31 degrees, calm and once the sun
rose, sunny.
 Sunrise 7:35
Though the daylight hours are getting longer, the longer part
is at the end of the day.
Sunrise will still be a few minutes later here.
Not until January 8 will the mornings start to get lighter.

Had a nice walk to town.
On the way Ki ran down to the road to give his token bark at me
before running back home.

 Walked around the lower cemetery and a loop around town
before heading back home.


Saw a woman in the distance walking.
She had on a bright orange sweatshirt and black sweatpants
just like me.  🙂

Walked my usual 6 miles


🌤     🌤     🌤

Did the usual chores and then just had a day around the house
doing this and that.

We had a candle light Christmas Eve church service at 5:00.
Just a short message,
one of the young people read the Christmas Story in Luke, 
and we had the Lord's Supper.
A beautiful way to remember that Christmas is about Jesus.

Happy Christmas Eve

Who can add to Christmas? 
The perfect motive is that God so loved the world. 
The perfect gift is that He gave His only Son. 
The only requirement is to believe in Him. 
The reward of faith is that you shall have everlasting life.

Another beautiful sunrise. Isn't it odd that days lengthen first on the end of the day. Oh well, it won't be long and we'll notice the sunrise is earlier too.
Have a wonderful Christmas.
