Dear Sisters and Brothers,
It’s been three months since I’ve blogged
and I’ve missed you all!
This acrostic poem is from last year,
but the meaning is just as sincere.
Some of you know why I’ve been absent and for now,
things are stable, but I’m still unsure about returning
to blogland. However, I couldn’t let this year end
without sending my sincere holiday wishes.
So, I wish for you Love, Peace, Hope and Miracles
this Christmas season and not only in the New Year to come,
but for forever~
Hugs and Blessings,
Lauren
May this holiday find you smiling
Enjoying priceless times with loved ones
Rejoicing in the birth of our Dear Savior
Realizing your blessings and finding peace
Yearning for the Holy birthday of the year
Caring for others who need their spirits lifted
Hosting family and friends in cozy gatherings
Remembering, a small act of kindness is a big gift
Imagining the festive spirit throughout the New Year
Seeing the delight and wonder through a child’s eyes
Taking time and letting God’s loving light shine through you
Making magical moments that will turn into precious memories
Allowing yourself tranquility in the midst of the seasonal chaos
Silently saying a prayer for those who are in need of God’s healing grace
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Happy Christmas, Lauren ❤ Much love for you and your precious family. Thank you for the joy you have brought me. Many warm blessings for health and happiness ❤ xxx
Awww…thank you, Red, for stopping by and sorry for my delayed reply. We were out of town visiting my family. Anyway, thank you for your loving wishes and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, too. I miss everyone, but am very torn about what I feel like doing and what I should do. Happy New Year to you, also, and I’ll be praying for a blessed one for us all. ♥ xoxo
Happy New Year, Lauren. No apologies. None needed. xxx
Thanks, Red! xoxo ♥
A merry Christmas to you Lauren
Thanks so much, Joe, and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s, too! I wish you a year full of happiness and lots of writing!
Thanks a lot! 🙂 I hope it won’t be long before we’re hearing from you again.
Aww…thanks, Joe, I’m still unsure, but reading your words makes me feel good, so thanks again! 🙂
Merry Christmas, Lauren!
I truly miss you, my friend! Thank you for all the love and joy you have brought me through your blog and mine….Your very special to me.

Lauren – Just as beautiful as ever. Luv, Dad
Thanks, Dad! Love you and glad we had the time together! Talk to you tonight! xoxoxo
Lauren this is a beautiful Christmas message, and thank you for deciding to share it with us.
You are in my thoughts and I am so glad I “found” you. Ia your fb page and by Diane sharing your poems there..
Love
Christine x
Thanks so much, Christine, and I’m glad we’ve connected via fb, too! I hope your holidays were joyful! It’s a new year for miracles…love and hugs! xo
Merry Christmas Lauren. God bless you and your family always. I think about you every time I’m in blogville (every day) and am always curious if whatever happened is improving. Well, may 2013 be very blessed. Hugs
Thanks so much, Scott, and I hope your holidays were as wonderful as you are! Things have improved temporarily, but long term is scary if I think about it. So I try not to “go there.” I’d go into detail, but would rather not publicly…we’re in the “dealing with it” phase and doing okay. But, I’m still not sure about blogging. I feel like all my writing creativity has been deleted! Anyway, I hope all is well with you, my friend, and sending you warm New Year wishes! I miss you and all my blogging friends! Hugs back!
Been praying since your last post. I do hope to see you back in blogland, but do what is needed first. Have a Merry Christmas and a restful and hopeful holiday. Love, lisa
Thanks so much, Lisa! I’ve missed blogland tremendously, but still am not sure about returning. I did want to send my holiday wishes and I hope your holiday was a happy one. I hope you’re still enjoying blogland, too, and hopefully, I’ll see you soon! Love and hugs, Lauren
Merry Christmas to you also my sister, may His blessings continue always to fill the days of you and your family!
Thanks, Wendell, and I hope your holidays were wonderful and joyful, too…we had a great time with Dad and my family and all is good right now. Hugs and blessings, my brother!

Beautiful poem – not just for Xmas – everyday life! Thank you and many wishes to you, dearest Lauren.
Ah! the poem is a Xmas tree image – or am I just being too visual? Lol. xxxx
Thanks, Shaheen, and you are being correctly visual! 🙂 I hope all is well with you, my friend…xxx
It looks like a Christmas bell to me, and I could hear the tinkling of the Salvation Army workers while I read. 🙂 Beautiful wishes.
Thanks so much, Anne, and I’ll visit again…I just took a peek while home sick…take care, Lauren 🙂
I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks, Anne, stay well! “It’s” going around!
