I was going to call this blog "Family" but I've named it "Eleanor Rigby" instead. I'm not sure why the sad tone but in this supposed connected world we live in, many people are not feeling that they are connected at all. They feel alone. Perhaps this is for them.
One of the best things for me about Christmas is the time our family spends together. It is one of the rare occasions when we can gather together, talk, laugh, eat, play and just enjoy each others company because our family is scattered in different cities, in different countries. One of God's first thoughts on man was that it is not good for man to be alone. There is a saying that "no man is an island" and it is perfectly true. You will struggle to make it in this world on your own.
