Well today’s picture tells its own story. Santa is on his way. Are you ready?

Thought on Monday – December – 24/12/2007

‘There are those who are so scrupulously afraid of doing wrong that they seldom venture to do anything.’ ~Author Unknown

Everyone strides to give and do their best each day. It is what God asks of each of us. Sometimes we do get it wrong and most times we get it just about right. But getting it wrong is not so earth shattering that we can’t pick up the pieces and learn from where we went wrong. On this Christmas Eve it’s good to know that now is an ideal time to begin to pick up those pieces and move forward with our lives. Christmas is not about getting it just perfect, cosy and right. A humble stable on the side of a hill was far from perfect. It is much more about doing my best in all my struggles and in what works best for me. That’s where God is most active in my life. No one can take that from me anytime.

(P.S As we head into Christmas time, its time to relax and take it easy. Our thoughts and pictures from here to Jan 2nd will be taken from my book ‘A Year In reflection’ which is a collection of the best of 365 thoughts and photographs from this website. From Jan 2nd everything will be back to new photos and thoughts. Thanks….James
