The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 1372

Good morning everyone and welcome. It is day 11 with my new knee and all going well thank God. I had a beautiful chat with the grandchildren this morning and JJ who is 4 asked me the following question. "Grandpat, are Jesus, Mary and Santa friends?" Well, often being put on the spot I replied "of course they are. Jesus and Mary and everyone's friends". JJ then followed up quickly with "why don't they give me presents for Christmas?" This one I found easier as I was now prepared. "Santa brings you gifts at Christmas but Jesus and His family give you gifts every hour and minute of your life like your Mam and Dad, your Grannies and Grandads, all your friends in school, your lovely house, your sister and cousins". Then he said "Oh Grandpat I get it! Jesus and Mary give me a lot more big gifts than Santa. Game, set and match Grandpat." He then walked away as happy as Larry. Aren't young people great at making us really appreciate what we have? Continue to pray, bless, power healing, peace, hope and love to all and wear your Monday smile.
