Happy Christmas and a hopeful New Year

A Methodist minister, Anton Dowell, wrote these lines in his Christmas card this year and they encapsulate what I want to say and wish for you -

May your Christmas

Lift you above the restraints and fears

Of the past months

And bring you to a New Year

Where hopes can be fulfilled

And we may freely meet again.

Happy Christmas and a hopeful New Year.

Thank you Kevin. What a lovely message. My father was a Methodist Minister. He died of Parkinson's disease in August, which was the hardest thing about the year. Wishing you all a peaceful and safe Christmas and a happier new year.
