Merry Christmas 2011


Well, folks, as you know it's that time of year again. I usually take an extended break from the blog at Christmas so I won't be making posts now until December 31st. So that's it for 2011. Your comments will be displayed here as usual but there will be a few days without any new postings. I need to just soak in the time with family.

I am looking forward to the best Christmas of my life at a time when I am still seeking employment. Christmas isn't about the exchange of gifts for me. It is about the birth of the Savior and spending time with my family. Our whole family will be with us this Christmas and I am really just so happy about this coming event.

As I have said in previous years ... there's no chance I'm quittin' on the blog. I hope I can shoot and post photos for the rest of my life ... but a rest is good for the mind too. In fact, I have spent a great deal of time praying that God might make this a way for me to pay my bills.

I want to thank you all for your kind wishes at this season. I hope you have a blessed Christmas with your families. I pray you have travel safety. May God bless you with His mercy and grace. Wise men still seek Him today.

Catch you in a few days.

Wishing you and your family a blessed peaceful Christmas too, Steve. I have just listened to tonight's news re N Korea. My thoughts and prayers go out especially to all the young service people who are out there right now.When you said your whole family, Tara must be included so have a special precious time together. Love Molly xx

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas with your family and once again...enjoyed the beautiful photo of your home. That is quite the place! My wish for you for the new year is to find what you need and want in life, be it a job or a career or just...! I know you'll know when it arrives. We can have anything in the universe if we just ask.

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home!

Kerrie said...

Hi Steve,

Just found your blog while visiting Red Rose Ally. I poked around your space and really like your blog and photography. As a newbie blogger and an amateur photographer I love looking at what other people are doing for inspiration. I like your writing too.

I'll be back for a visit next year to check out more of your photography.

Hello and belated merry celebrations of the birth miracle of Jesus!!! I've been seeing so much antagonism toward Christmas from atheists and from within the church (extreme sects) lately that it is refreshing to read your sweet comments about the birth of our Lord and savior. Hope you find a job that suits you to a "T" :) Happy 2012

Elizabeth said...
