it's been a crazy busy few days, make that few weeks....doing a lot of schools work means that this time of the year schools are keen for me to be involved in various parts of school life whether that's to just go along and watch nativity plays, to visit nursery classes and do a lesson about Christmas, to whole school carol services, Christingles and even the pleasure of a class party !
It is an exhausting time, the usual winter cold, sore throats has kicked in and the mild panic about how am I going to find the time to write the 2 talks/sermons I've still not done for Sunday let alone wrap presents and prepare the house for our family Christmas.
Yet tonight we ventured out, a band of merry singers, Carol singing in and around Lodgehill in Chattenden to share free mince pies and goody bags . It was cold, we haven't done it before yet the reaction as we walked and sang was amazing, people came out of houses, people stopped and listened and we even made some cry so moved were they that we'd come to them.
When we are so busy we can loose track of what Christmas is all about ...the spark of love come down in the form of a baby. That love is what I want to share with everyone, this year I've been so blessed to be able to hear that love told, shared and sung throughout our schools and to those members of staff who've invited me in I'm grateful.
This Christmas amidst the busyness of what needs to be done.....take a moment to watch, to observe, to take in the moment , the love come down and be blessed x
