Christmas Every Day
Love And Lies At The Village Christmas Shop by Portia Macintosh is a wonderful feel-good contemporary novel that focuses on the importance of family and memories. Every day we have the opportunity to not only look back and smile but to make new memories. The warm glow that Christmas brings shouldn’t only happen just once a year but every day.
The novel is a learning curve and a journey of discovery. “Some people put so much emphasis on things… but at the end of the day, it’s just money that gets you those things. Money can’t buy you a family.” Once again this week, I was reminded of something our pastor Leon Evans said “some people are so poor, all they have is money.” Money cannot buy you love, only stuff. Where will you aim the focus of your life?
Loss hits hard. No matter how warm our memories, sooner or later we have to face the fact that we need to adapt to a new ‘normal.’
