High Noon Walk

Inspired by fellow WordPress blogger Stephen Hollifield I decided to take my own leisurely walk around my neighbourhood today at High Noon – just a few minutes after I commented on his ‘Morning Walk’ for this Christmas Eve morning.

This is quite remarkable for me in that this is the very first time that I have ever done such a thing – and I’ve been living here in my neighbourhood for over 12½-years !

I walked around the northern circumference of my neighbourhood in just a little over 18 minutes. It was close to 0.75 miles in length.

Sky: Mostly Sunny
Temperature: 79°F
Relative Humidity: 57%
Winds: NE 13 MPH
Barometric Pressure: 30.09 FALLING

Here are a few thoughts as I walked the walk:

1.  There should never be a parking problem here in my neighbourhood. We have far more parking spaces than we actually need.

2.  I am blessed to live in a relatively litter-free neighbourhood. The City Of Homestead actually emptied out all of the dumpsters early this morning – on Christmas Eve !

3.  My neighbourhood smells good. There’s good cookin’ in the neighbourhood !

4.  My neighbourhood has sidewalks that I never knew existed. I’ll have to discover some more of them in my future walks.

5.  If this were May, June, July, August, September, or October then I would have probably been eaten alive by every bug known to mankind, but this is December and it is just so refreshingly delightful outside !

I’m doing another walk tomorrow !

The Christmas Card Of The Year Club

As of press time on this glorious Christmas Eve Morning I have received 19 Christmas cards in the mail and in-person. Each and every one of them is very special to me; however, two of them in particular stand out with important messages that symbolize the true meaning of Christmas. I’ll post one of them below, and the other one tomorrow morning on Christmas Day:

Because Jesus Came We Can …

… have peace with God,
be filled with all joy,
abound in hope,
be justified freely,
be alive toward God,
have the spirit of wisdom,
be under grace,
know the hope of His calling,
be conformed to His image,
be a child of God,
be His heir,
have victory,
know the riches of the glory of His inheritance.

Because of Jesus, we have so many reasons to rejoice !

Luke 1:49 (NLT 2ND Ed.):
For the Mighty One is holy, and he has done great things for me.
