Whatever you do, may there be joy, laughter, and playfulness to be found!
God rejoices over you with singing! 🎶

We get 12 days of Christmas to celebrate, folks! 😊
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! God’s light shines brightly for, in & through you this season and always!
It’s Christmas Eve! It’s a time of joy and celebration, and it’s also a time of year that can be a struggle for folks.
Know that wherever you are (physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally), you are seen and loved - at Christmas and always.

Enjoy your coffee 😊
