Bringing the Christmas Spirit Home to my beloved state

I became completely enamored of this artist’s -South Carolina state symbols -the crescent moon and Palmetto Tree over the birthplace of the Christ-child! 💗❤️

Aren’t there so many different memory perspectives of our imagery ( from childhood on) of the Wisemen kneeling before the newborn king. And still true… if we are spiritually ” wise” … then we understand the secret of life, love, and happiness … how they can dwell within us because of a little baby born in any environment.

How many of you have experienced ( in hindsight) this phenomenon… I certainly have… just recently… in fact.

With my health issues…cancer, a new pill ( cancer medicine) began causing my overall health to rapidly deteriorate -decisions had to be made quickly to try restoring my overall health with no meds…. I don’t know who was more confused …. my head or heart or body!

But now I have received so many God Winks reassuring me to simply follow the newborn king’s path and all will be well… even including new surprises ! What a gift Christmas is… and we can surprise ourselves and others when we keep the faith.

Even though the Greystone Inn ‘s planned trip for Kaitlyn by Tommy was dampened was Schatzi’s unexpected passing … still they are getting a chance to rest and enjoy Christmas decorations!

Have fun and breathe in the fresh mountain air and enjoy those delicious meals… my mouth waters just remembering them from our Thanksgiving adventure there! You both deserve this hiatus!

About Becky Dingle

I was born a Tarheel but ended up a Sandlapper. My grandparents were cotton farmers in Laurens, South Carolina and it was in my grandmother’s house that my love of storytelling began beside an old Franklin stove. When I graduated from Laurens High School, I attended Erskine College (Due West of what?) and would later get my Masters Degree in Education/Social Studies from Charleston Southern. I am presently an adjunct professor/clinical supervisor at CSU and have also taught at the College of Charleston. For 28 years I taught Social Studies through storytelling. My philosophy matched Rudyard Kipling’s quote: “If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.” Today I still spread this message through workshops and presentations throughout the state. The secret of success in teaching social studies is always in the story. I want to keep learning and being surprised by life…it is the greatest teacher. Like Kermit said, “When you’re green you grow, when you’re ripe you rot.”

    I’m blessed again by your daily blog. How wonderful are Christmas cards and the messages they bring to us. As I’m in the midst of writing a few I will press on with more purpose in view. The message we share at this season is His message to all mankind. Amazing to see how you are being blessed and provided for too!
