My friend and I decided to exchange Christmas gifts at church.  It was my first time attending the Sunday church service in years. It was amazing being surrounded with love and adding in my own love. I got to see some my beloved friends from all the events and classes I’ve been taken.

The service today was about Kwanza.  It was really interesting learning something new. Our church honors and celebrates all religions. I love that.

One of the ladies asked me to help out too. I assisted as usher during part of the service. I love helping and being involved. It brings me joy and I’m sure others are grateful I am willing.

My friend got me very thoughtful gifts. She’s so sweet. It brought me a lot of joy and happiness to shop and wrap the gifts I got for her. She enjoyed her presents. I love the season of giving.
