3rd Advent, end of the day

Our Sunday is nearing it's end as Paul is playing his flute and whistle at a local German Baptist Church. It is the first of a new evening service delivered all in English, called "The Second Sunday". Paul played his two carols beautifully and after the service there were Christmas cookies to share.

Had the chance to be greeted by one of the "Omas" or "Tantes" of the church. These kind of greetings can be short and sweet with the kindly double peck on the cheek and all is over or they can be pleasantly intense. This lady is one of those that wraps you up in her eyes with warmth and love and looks right into you and knows you and she also lets you know, she knows. It warmed me through to speak so breifly with her, it was as if I had known her for years and we had just come back from a long trip. What a beautiful soul.

Very nice ending to a very full day.
