It’s that
time of year . . . and I can’t believe we are measuring days left to Christmas!
Each year, we have to renew our commitment to not shop wildly, but to remember
the true reason for this celebration – the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Reading
the Christmas story, putting up the tree, decorating the house, baking cookies,
and singing the Christmas songs all serve to remind us of God’s great love and
the many blessings we’ve been given. And this week, we’ll attend our grandchildren’s
Christmas programs, get together with family to celebrate my Mom’s 86th
Birthday, and then gather with dear friends for the beautiful Christmas Eve
service at our Taylor’s Falls church.
And in the
midst of a fairly warm December (with hardly any snow), this seemed a good time
of year to remember summer days on the river. This week’s painting, First
Light Paddle, is 9” x 10” on 300 lb. paper, and captures the feeling of an
early morning paddle with fog rising off the water.
