December Goals, What Matters Most

Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,In the bleak midwinter long ago.Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain;Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.– Christina Rosetti I’m in an airport, on my way to be with my best friend from home, who went into hospice last night.
