Sequence

Tranquil
holidays
Avoiding stress
while pocketbooks are stretched
Desired

Lost are
the reasons
Gifting frenzies
trying to top last year
Engorged

With each year comes changing tides. In each of us God's love abides. His grace is what we have been given. There is no need to be more driven. Peace. :)
