Dear Family, Friends, and Primos:
With so much happening politically, and so many social changes, this is
a good time to enjoy old family and local community traditions, or even
start some new personal or family traditions.
A few years ago, I decided rather than send Christmas cards to family
and some old friends, I would call. Emails are nice, and keep us up to
date, but hearing the voice of a loved ones is special. I really look
forward to December for this yearly, lengthy "catching-up" call.
My daughter told me that this year she and her husband are starting a
new tradition. They are going to assemble costumes and store them for
their annual nativity reenactment. She is adding that to baking
Christmas cookies and decorating a Gingerbread house. She has done with
her grandchildren, since her oldest grandchild now seven, was three.
She looks forward to it, as much as the children do.
There is something very warm and special about old memories which
contribute to a family history. Create memories.
Sharing a couple of very special stories about the Virgin Mary. On the
heels of the Six-Day War, the middle-east was in the midst of the
Arab-Israeli conflict. On April 2, 1968, in the city of Zeitoun, Egypt,
a suburb outside Cairo, the mother of our Lord, appeared miraculously
to thousands. Photos were taken and healings were contributed to her
presence. The second story, is about her appearance to a Jewish
Harvard Professor. The heavens are concerned with us and world
conditions, surely peace on earth should be in our hearts.
Please note: If you are a recent subscriber (as of April) please write
again. Thank you.
Wishing everyone a very special Christmas y Feliz Navidad.
