Because I am on the road, and "out of Pocket", what I am referring you to is a beautiful holiday post from my friend, Macrina. She has a special gift for finding peace and hope in everyday life!

I am at my daughter's home and am having a wonderful Christmas. I hope you have a wonderful week, too!

Wishing all of you a blessed Advent season with at least a moment or two of quiet reflection.

Another blogger Britt-Arnild is having a quiet Advent Party....drop by her blog for the details.

I plan to read this book, for a relaxing, humorous Southern Christmas escape.

Right now, I am reading "Can't Wait to Get to Heaven" by Fannie Flagg. It is a novel with more Southern, small town humor which I find very comforting.
