Christmas
Conversations
CB
and I have no trouble having conversations.
We talk. The conversation flows,
we laugh, we tease, we get serious. We
talk.
Talk
is good for you.
Sometimes,
we miss ‘talking’, like yesterday. My
drive time to my work place this week has been 20 miles one way. I leave home around 615AM on these
mornings. Last night, CB had some
shopping to do on her way home and I had an evening to myself. I went to sleep, sound asleep, around 745pm. She got home at 830. No talking, no conversation. I missed it.
We
caught up this morning for ten minutes on the steps outside our condo. She was headed up to her car, I was headed
down to mine. We did what we do – we talked.
We’ve
had lots of conversations this Christmas – when do we see Scrooge? What about
Snowflake Lane? What will you wear to
the party? What do you want for
Christmas?
We’ve
had some other, deeper conversations too.
We’re reading a book by Dietrich Bonhoeffer, of Christmas
meditations. That is stimulating a few
conversations.
We
talk of love, of life this time last year (I had heart surgery), our grands,
kids, relatives in other states. We’re
trying really hard to not let the busyness this season brings interrupt our
conversations. We need to keep in
touch.
We’re
having conversations with God to.
Expressing words of thanksgiving, of praise, and hope for today and a
brighter hope for our tomorrows.
Conversation
is a good thing.
Engage
those you love in good, wholesome Christmastime conversation.
Something to
think on,
in less than
60 seconds.
