[Sundaycommunity] Greetings of the season ,. . .

[Dave Snelgrove]

Thank you Pat.  Your emails have been important, keeping us in touch with
your progress through some very real challenges.  And showing a resiliency
of courage and hope that I hope I can emulate when my next times of trial
descend.  And meanwhile, you project the essential quality of enjoying what
is given you to take part in.  And appreciate.  Have a good Christmas with
your grown kids and whoever else is meaningful to you to share the special
day with.  It is such a special day!  Celebrating God coming into the world
to ensure we know of his love for us, imperfect as we are.
All the best, Rosemary
