Welcome to my Blog! MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Pohutukawa, New Zealand's native Christmas tree (Photo borrowed from - flickr.com) I cannot believe that Christmas has been and gone already! I have spent most of this week in the quiet of my home. Reflecting, and pondering my journey of 2011. The passing away of my brother last week brought a sad closure to this year for our family. And life, goes on. Even in the midst of times when you feel like everything should stop while you take time out. Grief is real, and so is our hope in God. My brother was a family man. He loved his family; his wife and his grandchildren very much. I remember thinking as we gathered at his funeral, that there was enough of us alive to keep my brother's love going for his wife, and children/grandchildren. We, who are living are responsible to care and support those whose loved ones have passed on. God's word contains promises that we need for every situation in our lives. Ea
