The Whole Advent Calendar December 2022

[I have often attempted some sort of Advent Calendar in December. Last year it was just on each day-number, others have attempted the background to the birth in the manger. This year I've attempted verse again on the numbers of the days, but drawing out some significance from the Bible history, all in brief limerick form. Limerick form was not used to indicate humour, but as a form to make a catchy brief point.] I've now combined the 25 individual days, and of course lost a few comments.

Thank you. A warning that saves from danger and points to a good present must be kind! Like calling a child from rushing into the road, and from getting lost, to the way back home! Rhiannon

A lot of ineteresting detail amongst the mundane of reporting, and that is what makes reading the ordinary accounts of the time worthwhile, and you realise these are real people not just statistics.

They had tresured their time with...

You describe well the mingling of memories, some clear, some much more vague, coalescing over the years of time as we get older, but various threads emerging! Rhiannon

Such vafied, responsible work he was given. He must have been considered a good investigator and reporter on these matters.

You headed the entry 15 June. But he died 20 June. Did you mean for her to be writing on 25 June? Rhiannon

What a journey! And interesting about her asking for baptism as an adult to delaclare commitment. And to have that encouragement from, and information about,Florence Nightingale.

You must have trawled through many sources!  Rhiannon

Thank you, Di. As I told Insert, it's up and down. I hope we can go again to the coastal path, Di, but this painting always gives me the feel of the place. The sound of quiet many waters, and the sound of stormy waves are both things I enjoy (...
