“Thy neighbour as thyself” is indeed so freeing. I tend to be an A type driver, and that phrase often encourages me to stop pushing and to rest!

We are stewards of what we have materially, including our bodies, since (1 Corinthians 7:23) “Ye have been bought with a price”.

It is the first Christmas without any grandparents, which feels strange. I hope you have a lovely Christmas too.

Odd isn’t it? Me too. It must be that the things which aren’t good for us give us the quickest rewards and the rewards of virtue are slower. A sweet treat vs. decluttering for instance!!
Happy Christmas, Abby. I loved the post about your grandfather, and his love for the Word and ability to create beautiful gardens, though I was having trouble commenting!

I often find myself having to cajole myself into doing things I know are good for me, or stopping things that I know aren’t! Sometimes with more success than others. I also really enjoyed Sarah Bessey’s book.
